One off night turned into two and now UCLA is sliding down the Pac-12 standings.
After back-to-back losses to Colorado and Oregon State, the Bruins have fallen from first in the Pac-12 to fourth in less than a week. They face another struggling team Saturday as Oregon is also on a two-game losing streak heading into Saturday’s game at Matthew Knight Arena.
The game is scheduled for a 7:15 p.m. tip on ESPN with radio on AM 570.
