It happened for a second straight game. The UCLA Basketball team needed a second half run to pull away for another Pac-12 victory.
With freshmen Lonzo Ball, a Wooden Award candidate, leading the charge in the second half, the Bruins were able to put away the Beavers and erase the horrible memory of an uninspired first half.
Things were sloppy before halftime against the conference’s worst team. Despite starting out 6-0, the Bruins appeared lackadaisical in their approach to the game. Proof of that came when Oregon State countered the Bruins’ quick start with an immediate 10-point run.
