Dylan Andrews banked in a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left giving UCLA a 73-71 victory Sunday over No. 12 Oregon at Eugene, Ore.

Andrews nearly slipped and turned the ball over before making the game-winning shot over Oregon post player Nate Bittle.

Jackson Shelstad’s 3-pointer, his first basket in the second half, with 10.7 seconds left put Oregon (9-1, 1-1 Big Ten) ahead 71-70.

After UCLA called timeout following Shelstad’s 3-pointer, Oregon applied a foul to give with 6.4 seconds left.

Andrews took a pass on top of the key and maneuvered for the 3-pointer.

UCLA (8-1, 2-0) is on a seven-game winning streak and is unbeaten after its first two games in the conference after leaving the Pac-12

Oklahoma State transfer Eric Dailey, Jr. led the Bruins with a season-high 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field.

Kobe Johnson finished with 11 points and Andrews and Sebastian Mack each had 10 points.

Bittle led Oregon with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Keeshawn Barthelemy added 13 points, Shelstad had 11 and Jadrian Tracey 10.

Oregon’s 8-1 run cut UCLA’s lead to 68-66 with 1:54 remaining.

After Mack made a layup for the Bruins, teammate Tyler Bilodeau was called for goaltending on a layup by Shelstad.

The call was reversed and the Bruins got the ball on alternating possession.

Bilodeau’s dunk attempt was blocked by Barthelemy and Bittle scored on a putback to cut the lead to 70-68 with 49.7 seconds left.

A turnover by Andrews preceded Shelstad’s 3-pointer with 10.7 seconds left.

UCLA took a 23-13 lead with 9:41 left in the first half following a 9-2 run that included Barthelemy called for a technical foul for taunting the Bruins’ bench players after making a jump shot.

Oregon’s 13-2 run put the Ducks ahead 32-29 with 2:19 left in the half.

The teams opened the second half trading baskets nine times before a 7-0 spurt put UCLA ahead 51-45 with 12:18 left.

A Barthelemy layup and 3-pointer were part of a stretch that cut the lead to 53-52 with 10:27 remaining.

An 11-2 run that put UCLA ahead 67-58 with 3:51 left included 3-pointers by Bilodeau and Johnson and a 3-point play by Dailey.
