UCLA men’s basketball holds off Oregon

LOS ANGELES — UCLA men’s basketball has avoided a complete 40 minutes like the plague, but it got pretty close Saturday.

With a fully healthy roster for just the third time in nine games, the Bruins were cruising. Throughout the first half, they cycled through multiple defensive looks and got contributions from a variety of offensive sources. But as things got tight in the second half, and the refs’ whistle buttoned up, they let Oregon creep back.

The Ducks (4-5, 0-2) cut the margin from as high as 17 to a one-possession game.
