The Bruins are currently 19-4, including a 10-2 record in Pac-12 play. Following a winless weekend in Las Vegas in November, UCLA rattled off 14 wins in a row, including victories over Oregon, USC, Arizona State, Utah, then-No. 20 Maryland and then-No. 13 Kentucky. The streak came to an end in Tucson when then-No. 11 Arizona pulled away for a 58-52 win, then the Trojans got revenge with a 77-64 win at the Galen Center. The Bruins recovered with wins over Washington and Washington State, but haven't won a road game since Jan. 19.

A four-game losing streak with losses to Portland State, then-No. 8 Duke, Florida State and Portland State again sank Oregon State's nonconference slate. The Beavers opened Pac-12 play with a six-game losing streak, and despite beating Cal and Colorado, they came back down to Earth with recent losses to Arizona, Arizona State and Utah to drop to 3-10 in-conference and 9-15 overall.

Oregon State is averaging 62.0 points per game while allowing 66.8 points per game, which rank No. 352 and No. 100 in the country, respectively.

Freshman guard Jordan Pope is the focal point of the Beavers' offense, averaging 12.5 points and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 38.3% from deep and 85.2% from the line. Forward Glenn Taylor Jr. is scoring 11.0 points per game, but no Oregon State player is averaging more than 4.4 rebounds or 0.8 blocks per game.

UCLA is 101-40 against Oregon State all-time, including a 4-1 record since Cronin took over. The Bruins have won their last two games at Gill Coliseum, but the Beavers are 8-4 at home this season.
