filled.

Transition buckets and points off turnovers kept UCLA afloat through much of the season, but recently its offense has been holding its own.

Over the Bruins’ recent winning streak, which they extended to five games, they scored 78 points or more four times.

Eric Dailey Jr. got the Bruins going early with seven consecutive points and led UCLA with 21 points. Tyler Bilodeau returned from an ankle injury that kept him out of UCLA’s game against USC on Monday and quickly shed any rust, hitting a 3 on the Bruins’ opening possession. He added 15 points, as did Dylan Andrews

UCLA built a double-digit lead 28-18 on the back of its half-court defense. The Bruins walled off the paint, forcing Oregon to hoist contested perimeter jumpers and the Ducks went just 4 of 23 from deep. Skyy Clark matched up against Jackson Shelstad and held the streaking sophomore scoreless.

After an ugly stretch when both teams combined for just one field goal from the 8-minute mark to the 4:30-mark of the first half, the Bruins had an impressive stretch to close the half.

Clark pushed the pace on consecutive possessions, dumping passes to Bilodeau and then to Aday Mara, then Bilodeau hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key.

Mara then got beat on a drive by Brandon Angel, but recovered to block his floater attempt, which sent Kobe Johnson the other way for a fast-break layup that put UCLA up 40-24.

UCLA conceded a slew of straight line drives to start the second half, but its offense continued to make up for it. Just after Oregon had cut the margin to 10, Johnson stripped Nate Bittle on one end and drove and dumped to Aday Mara for a dunk on the other end. With 10:13 remaining, Johnson hit a jumper from the left corner and then Dylan Andrews stuck his third 3-pointer of the night to give UCLA a 60-42 lead with 9:21 remaining.

From there, the Bruins went on another surge, a 12-2 run emphasized by a dunk from Dailey.

The Bruins’ complete dominance of the Ducks is notable as two points separated these two on Dec. 8. This, too, was UCLA’s fourth win over an opponent ranked inside the top-20 at the time of the game.
