Ducks and Bruins
The No. 16 Oregon Ducks are back on the road Thursday night, facing UCLA in a key Big Ten matchup. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT at Pauley Pavilion, with television coverage on FS1. Radio coverage begins at 7 p.m. on KCST. This will be the Ducks’ first visit to UCLA as Big Ten opponents, but the rivalry remains intense. Oregon is 42-95 all-time against the Bruins, with a 16-14 record under head coach Dana Altman. The Ducks will look to bounce back after a heartbreaking 73-71 loss in their first meeting this season, decided by a last-second three-pointer. Last season, the teams split their regular season games, each winning at home, before Oregon edged UCLA 68-66 in the Pac-12 tournament. With conference standings at stake, the Ducks will aim to even the season series and make a statement on the road.
