Sophomore guard Bryce Alford spoke Tuesday about the necessity to get the ball to the bigs inside to break Oregon State’s disruptive zone defense, which forced UCLA into shooting just 30.6 percent in its loss to Oregon State last month.
At the start of Wednesday night’s game at Pauley Pavilion, the Bruins decided to cut out the middle man.
UCLA hit four consecutive 3-pointers in the opening minutes to build an early lead and cruised to the finish, beating Oregon State 75-59.
