The top two teams in the Pac-12 Conference standings last season get an early shot at one another when UCLA visits 25th-ranked Oregon on Wednesday afternoon in Eugene.
The Ducks (6-1, 1-0) captured the conference regular-season title by one game over the Bruins (5-2, 1-0) last season, the difference coming in a 96-75 Oregon home win in January.
Projected conference front-runners again, the teams have a rematch later this season on Jan. 28 at UCLA.
Oregon's 21-point win last season was its most one-sided in the rivalry since 2003. Chris Duarte paced that win with a game-high 24 points.
