Tyger Campbell had 20 points and five assists while Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 17 points as No. 12 UCLA, playing without the injured Johnny Juzang, bounced back from a loss at Oregon two nights earlier and routed Oregon State 94-55 on Saturday in Corvallis, Ore.
Jules Bernard added 16 points for the Bruins (21-6, 13-5 Pac-12). Juzang, who leads UCLA in scoring with 17.0 points per game, sat out with an ankle injury suffered in the first half against the Ducks.
Cody Riley added 13 points and Jaylen Clark had 10 for the Bruins, who shot 13-for-20 (65 percent) from 3-point range. Campbell was 4-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Juzang, who is considered to be day-to-day, was not missed against the last-place Beavers (3-24, 1-16). Maurice Calloo scored 13 points as Roman Silva and Glenn Taylor Jr. each added 10 for Oregon State, which has lost 14 consecutive games. The Beavers dropped Thursday’s game against No. 16 in double overtime.
UCLA led 43-28 at halftime and did not let the struggling Beavers make a game of it in the second half. Silva’s three-point play cut the deficit to 45-34 with 17:50 remaining, but that was as close as Oregon State got.
UCLA then scored the next eight points, five by Campbell and three by Riley, for a 53-34 lead.
UCLA took advantage of almost every Oregon State mistake. The Bruins scored 25 points off 12 Beavers’ turnovers.
A 12-2 run early in the first half, capped by Calloo’s 3-pointer from the right wing, gave the Beavers a brief 14-9 lead. But David Singleton and Bernard answered with treys on UCLA’s next two possessions to put the Bruins ahead to stay, 15-14.
The Bruins’ lead continued to grow from there. Jaquez used a pump fake to get Oregon State’s Ahmad Rand airborne and finished through the contact. Jaquez then converted the three-point play for a 22-16 lead with 9:10 left in the first half.
Jaquez’ 3-pointer, set up by Riley’s offensive rebound, put UCLA ahead 27-18 with 7:30 to go. The Bruins then began to pull away with a 10-2 run capped by Campbell’s three with 1:18 left in the half, making it 41-24.
