Current odds:

Oregon Ducks: (TBD)

UCLA Bruins: (TBD)

 

• The line for this game is Oregon by 1.5 points.

• The Ducks gave the Bruins everything they could handle on Jan. 3 in Matthew Knight Arena, fighting back from a double-digit deficit before being unable to complete the comeback in a 73-71 loss to then-No. 11 UCLA. Oregon saw its NCAA-leading 27-game win streak and 22-game home win streak come to an end with its first home loss since Feb. 22, 2019 (also to UCLA). The Ducks got 19 points from Te-Hina Paopao with three other players in double figures, but struggled to contain the high-scoring duo of Michaela Onyenwere (33 points) and Charisma Osborne (22) for UCLA.

• Michaela Onyenwere has scored 1,710 points in her UCLA career and is currently tied 11th on UCLA’s all-time scoring list. Anita Ortega (’79) is 10th with 1,751 points. Monique Billings (’18) is ninth with 1,761 points.
Charisma Osborne is second in the Pac-12 with 18.9 points per game.
Lauryn Miller led the Bruins with six assists in the team’s win over Utah (Feb. 12). She has dished out 39 assists through 15 games this season, just seven away from her career high of 46 assists, set over 31 games in 2019-20.

• Michaela Onyenwere is second in the Pac-12 in rebounding (8.3 rpg) and is fourth in scoring (17.4). She is the only player in the Conference in the top 5 in both categories.

• Charisma Osborne leads the Pac-12 in three-point field goals per game (2.8).
Lindsey Corsaro has registered at least three assists in 12 games this season. She leads the Pac-12 in assist/turnover ratio at 2.87.

• Natalie Chou has scored in double figures in six of her last seven games.

• UCLA enters Friday’s game at No. 8 in the most recent AP Poll. It is the 33rd-consecutive week the team has been ranked in the top 11.

• With the team’s win over then-No. 8 Oregon (Jan. 3), the Bruins have now recorded a victory over a top-10 opponent in each of the last six seasons. UCLA’s second top-10 road victory this season came against then-No. 5 Stanford (Jan. 22).

• UCLA is the only team with multiple players (Osborne, 2nd – 18.9 ppg, Onyenwere, 4th – 17.4) among the Pac-12’s top 5 scorers.

• UCLA is 12th in the country and leads the Pac-12 in offensive rebounds per game (16.3).

• The Bruins lead the Pac-12 in turnovers forced (18.3) and fewest turnovers committed (11.9).
