GAME. BLOUSES.
After UCLA guard Bryce Alford missed a free throw with 8.9 seconds left in Wednesday night’s game, Oregon forward Dillon Brooks collected the rebound, hustled up the floor to the right wing and fired an off-balance trey with 0.8 ticks remaining, giving the No. 21 Ducks the upset win over the No. 2 Bruins.
Brooks had 23 points and nine rebounds in the conference opener for both Pac-12 teams.

The 1994-95 UCLA team entered Pac-12 play undefeated, only to lose at Oregon in the conference opener. We all know what happened that year.
