College career
Prior to the start of his freshman season, Riley was one of three UCLA players (along with Jalen Hill and LiAngelo Ball) who were arrested in China for allegedly shoplifting before their game against Georgia Tech. The arrested players were confined to their hotel for several days until the charges were dropped and the players were allowed to leave the country. Riley and the other two players were suspended indefinitely from the team after their return to campus, and on December 22, 2017, UCLA announced that Riley and Hill would remain suspended for the entire season, but were allowed to join practices and team activities on December 26. Riley declared for the 2018 NBA draft, but opted to withdraw and continue his college career at UCLA.
Riley averaged 5.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game as a redshirt freshman. As a sophomore, he averaged 8.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. On January 8, 2021, Riley scored a career-high 22 points to go with 13 rebounds in a 81–75 overtime win against Arizona State. He averaged 10 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as a junior, shooting 53.8% from the field and helping the Bruins reach the Final Four. Following the season, Riley declared for the 2021 NBA draft, but ultimately returned to UCLA. In the 2021–22 season opener against Cal State Bakersfield, he sustained a left medial collateral ligament sprain after a collison in the first half. He was sidelined for almost two months before returning in January 2022. In his second game back, he had a career-high four steals in a win over California. He decided not to return for a sixth season, forgoing his remaining season of eligibility.
