UCLA at Oregon: Three things to know
- UCLA lost to then-No. 19 Ohio State 77-70 as a 2-point favorite on a neutral floor in Cleveland Saturday. The Bruins led 63-61 with 6:22 to go before Ohio State scored the next 5 points and never relinquished the lead to snap UCLA's 5-game win streak. Bruins junior F Cody Riley scored a game-high 15 points, while sophomore G Johnny Juzang added 13 points in the loss. Sophomore G Jamie Jaquez Jr.'s 13.7 points per game lead four Bruins in double figures.
- Oregon enters on a 6-game win streak after dropping its season opener. The Ducks' most recent victory saw senior G Chris Duarte score a game-high 21 points in an 80-41 rout of visiting Portland Saturday. The Ducks defense stood out, holding the Pilots to 21% shooting (12-for-56). Senior F Eugene Omoruyi leads the Ducks with 18.1 PPG. Unfortunately for Oregon, sophomore C N'Faly Dante (8.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG) suffered a season-ending knee injury in the previous game.
- Oregon won the only matchup between the two Pac-12 rivals last season. Behind Duarte's game-high 24 points, the Ducks snapped a three-game skid in the series with a 96-75 home victory Jan. 26 - they were 12-point favorites. The game was the difference in Oregon winning the Pac-12 last season at 13-5, one game ahead of UCLA, which was 12-6.
