The pace was exactly what UCLA wanted.
Oregon was in foul trouble for most of the game.
UCLA held Oregon scoreless for nearly four minutes toward the end of the game.
The Ducks won anyway.
Oregon improved to 10-3 overall and 2-0 in Pac-12 play as it defeated the Bruins 64-59 in front of a raucous crowd inside Matthew Knight Arena.
Point guard Jackson Shelstad scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half, including two free throws with 7.8 seconds that put the game away for the Ducks. He also hit a pair of threes that turned a five-point deficit into a one-point lead with about 10 minutes to go.
It was a battle of UCLA’s inside game against the Ducks’ outside shooting and fortunately for Oregon, it was 10-of-25 from three-point land and it was just enough to hold off the Bruins.
