Oregon looks for rare sweep as it faces UCLA
Oregon can complete its first four-game, regular-season sweep of the Pac-12 Conference’s Los Angeles schools since the 2015-16 season with Saturday’s visit to UCLA, but the Ducks are up against one of the league’s hottest teams.
The Bruins (10-11, 5-5 Pac-12) beat Oregon State 71-63 on Thursday for their fourth victory in the last five games.
Dylan Andrews and Adem Bona each scored 18 points on Thursday — Andrews with 13 in the second half — while Will McClendon had eight points, all after intermission, and a game-high seven rebounds.
Andrews’ performance came on the heels of a 20-point outing in UCLA’s 65-50 win at rival Southern California on Jan. 27.
“When he plays good, we really play good,” UCLA guard Lazar Stefanovic said of Andrews after Thursday’s game. “He gets us going. Towards the end … it seemed like he scored every point.”
Though Andrews was not responsible for every point down the stretch on Thursday, he scored five consecutively that gave the Bruins breathing room after Oregon State pulled to within one.
With its recent surge, UCLA is part of a logjam of eight teams vying for first place in the conference. Oregon is tied at the top with Arizona, while the Bruins have bounced back from a four-game skid to sit just two games back.
Oregon (15-6, 7-3) is coming off a 78-69 win over USC on Thursday. The win improved the Ducks to 3-0 against the Los Angeles schools after sweeping the meetings at home in December.
Jackson Shelstad, who scored a game-high 20 points on Thursday, scored 20 against the Bruins on Dec. 30.
“I came out tonight and tried to be really aggressive,” Shelstad told the Oregonian on Thursday. “I need to keep playing this way every game. It makes the game easier for us”
The freshman guard is one of three Ducks averaging at least 12.8 points per game, a group that includes Jermaine Couisnard (14.7) and the recently returned N’Faly Dante (14.3).
Dante was sidelined for more than two months with a knee injury and rejoined the lineup on Jan. 13. He finished with 11 points, five boards and two blocked shots on Thursday.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
