LAS VEGAS — Consistent with its first two conference tournament performances, UCLA trails at the half of the Pac-12 Championship game against Oregon, 41-32.
The Bruins jumped out to an eight-point lead by taking advantage of eight early Duck turnovers, but Oregon stormed back by hitting five 3-pointers to spark a 17-4 run.
UCLA is without second-leading scorer Jordan Adams, the freshman guard who broke his right foot in Friday’s semifinal win over Arizona. His replacement – sophomore guard Norman Powell – had two points in the first half.
Redshirt junior forward Travis Wear leads the Bruins with eight first-half points. Oregon senior Carlos Emory and junior Johnathan Loyd lead all scorers with 12 apiece.
