Amari Bailey scored a career-high 24 points as No. 7 UCLA shook off a slow start to put on a defensive 62-47 win over Oregon State on Thursday.
By any objective measure, Oregon State is not a good college basketball team. The Beavers have a toothless offense. Nearly twice as many losses as wins. A coach on the hottest of seats.
. The Beavers can shoot, Cronin said. They had a good record at home. Jordan Pope leads all Pac-12 freshmen in scoring.Even with the Bruins slogging their way through what might have been their worst opening five-minute stretch of the season, their lockdown defense and infusion of points from two unexpected sources overwhelmed the Beavers during a 62-47 victory at Gill Coliseum.
UCLA’s defense was as good as it’s been all season, even if one must account for the strength of the opponent. Oregon State didn’t reach 30 points until there were 7:34 left in the game and finished with just four assists, a sign of horrible ball movement as well as lots of Bruins defense that made things difficult.
The game was such a runaway by then that UCLA could be forgiven for its terrible opening sequence plagued by one issue. Cronin explicitly talked about it, made a point of it, warned against it.It certainly looked that way in the early minutes. Clark threw a bad pass that was stolen. Tyger Campbell hurled a lob several feet over Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s head out of bounds. Bailey threw another bad pass. Adem Bona traveled.
