Series History
This is the 68th meeting between UCLA and Oregon, with the Bruins holding a 36-31 advantage in the series. Since the Ducks' rise as one of the toughest teams in the Pac-12, Oregon has won the last four meetings; however, each of those four contests was decided by single digits. UCLA is 22-11 at home against Oregon, with the last win at Pauley Pavilion coming on Jan. 15, 2017 (79-63). Last season, UCLA met Oregon in the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament. In that game, Kennedy Burke nailed a jumper to put UCLA up 62-55 with 5:28 remaining, but the Bruins were held scoreless for the remainder of the affair en route to a 65-62 setback. In the last showdown in Los Angeles, the Bruins led 59-56 with 3:10 left but were outscored 14-2 the rest of the way.
