LAS VEGAS —
It all had a painfully familiar feel for UCLA.
A big lead. Some sloppy play. A lead that was no more.
Then came an ending that was singularly excruciating.
The regrets belonged exclusively to UCLA’s Jules Bernard in the final minute of overtime of a Pac-12 Conference tournament quarterfinal against Oregon State. With the Bruins down by a point, Bernard drove into the lane and appeared to get fouled while also having his shot blocked with 41 seconds left, giving the ball back to the Beavers.
Bernard grabbed a rebound after Oregon State missed a shot on its resulting possession and went barreling into the lane before throwing a pass toward the wing that was grabbed by the Beavers’ Jared Lucas.
