UCLA-Oregon State: second half

Darren Collison equaled his career high of 22 points with a basket in the first minute of the second half. He has another 18 minutes to set a new high, and the Bruins are out to a 47-39 lead with two baskets to open the half.

>> Four more Bruin points and it's an 8-0 UCLA run to start the half. It's a 51-39 Bruin lead with 15:52 to go. Collison has his career high at 24 points.

>> Explosion! Collison now has 29 points on 9-10 FG and 9-9 FT, and the Bruins are on a 17-1 run to start the second half. OSU still doesn't have a field goal after 5:36 in the second half. The Bruins are up, 60-40.

>> Oregon State finally got a field goal to cut the Bruin lead to 62-46, but UCLA ran away with a 17-4 edge in the first 8:17 of the second half while the Beavers were 0-10 to start the half.

>> Just as with the USC game Thursday, Oregon State has been crushed in the second half. The Beavers lost the second half to the Trojans, 41-19, and it's UCLA 34, OSU 15 so far with 4:33 to play (UCLA 77-54 overall).

>> Collison and Kevin Love finally sat down with a minute and a half to go. Collison had 33 tonight —  a career high —  and 55 in the two games on the Oregon trip. Love had 21 rebounds tonight — a freshman record — and he's the sixth player in UCLA history to have 21 or more rebounds in a game. Only Willie Naulls, Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, David Greenwood and Sidney Wicks have had more in a game.

Final score: UCLA 85, Oregon State 62
