UCLA's late-season surge continued as Dylan Andrews' rising play helped the Bruins secure a 71-63 victory over Oregon. Despite UCLA's early 18-point lead and leading 23-5, Oregon fought back with a 16-2 run, overtaking UCLA 34-33 at halftime. Jadrian Tracey's three consecutive three-pointers were significant in Oregon's comeback. However, Andrews' performance, including a key three-pointer, ensured UCLA's win, marking their fourth in five games and bringing them back to .500. This positions UCLA as a top-4 team in the Pac-12.
