UCLA TONIGHT

- — Ben Bolch

AT OREGON When: 7:15. Where: Matthew Knight Arena, Eugene, Ore. On the air: TV: ESPN; Radio: 1150. Update: It could take on the feel of an eliminatio­n game for teams that have fallen from the Pac-12 Conference’s elite in one year. UCLA has already lost more games than it did all of last season. Oregon (12-7, 2-4) has lost three of its last four games, including its first home setback against USC since 2009. The Ducks held a two-point lead against the Trojans on Thursday before failing to score on six of their final seven possession­s. The Bruins were equally bad in the final minutes of a 69-63 loss to Oregon State. “We’ve just got to learn now how to close out halves,” UCLA coach Steve Alford said, “and when you’re playing a lot of new guys that’s not easy.”
