UC Irvine stunned No. 21 Oregon 69-56 on Friday night in Eugene, Ore., taking control late in the first half and pouring it on in the second on its way to the upset.

UC Irvine (2-0) ended Oregon’s six-game winning streak in the all-time series and defeated the Ducks (1-1) for the first time since 1982. The Anteaters led by 27 points in the second half before the Ducks made the final score look more respectable.

DJ Davis, who led the way with a career-high 24 points, knocked down six 3-pointers as the Anteaters made 12 of 28 long-distance attempts (42.9 percent).

UC Irvine, which plays in the Big West, had not defeated a Pac-12 opponent since 2013.

The Anteaters trailed only once, 18-17, after a pair of Kel’el Ware free throws with 6:11 to play in the first half. UC Irvine finished the half on an 18-4 run to take a 35-22 halftime lead.

Davis hit a pair of 3-pointers and a jumper during that stretch and Andre Henry finished the half with a 3 as UC Irvine hit seven from long distance to zero in seven attempts for the Ducks.

Things got no better for Oregon in the second half, as the Anteaters went up 46-26 on a Davis scoop shot. Then Davis and Devin Tillis knocked down back-to-back threes for a 52-28 lead with 15:57 to play.

N’Faly Dante led the Ducks with 20 points and nine rebounds. Oregon found success going inside to the big man Dante early, but largely abandoned it as the Ducks fell behind and had to shoot from long range while trying to rally.

Oregon made only 4 of 21 3-point shots (19 percent) on one of the most disappointing nights it’s had on its home floor in recent years. The Ducks made only 32.7 percent of their field-goal attempts (17 of 52).

The Anteaters never led by fewer than 13 points in the second half. The score wasn’t indicative of how much the Anteaters dominated as Oregon finished the game on a 13-3 run with the outcome no longer in doubt.

Five players scored in double figures for No. 8 UCLA, and the Bruins used a 28-8, first-half run to cruise past Long Beach State 93-69 on Friday in Los Angeles.

UCLA (2-0) built a lead of as many as 29 points in the second half after taking control with a dominant stretch lasting a little more than nine minutes in the first half.

Long Beach State (1-1) made just one field goal over that span, going more than six minutes between field goals at one stretch.

The Bruins complemented stingy defense — holding Long Beach State to just 24-of-66 shooting (36.4 percent) from the floor on the night and 6-of-21 (28.6 percent) from 3-point range — with balanced offense.

Tyger Campbell set the pace with 18 points. Jaylen Clark did not match his perfect field-goal shooting performance from Monday’s season opener, going 6-of-12 against the Beach, but he completed another strong all-around game with 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.

UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 12 points and eight rebounds, while David Singleton shot 4 of 8 from 3-point range as he scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds off the bench. Amari Bailey rounded out the double-figure scorers with 14 points.

UCLA leveraged scoring advantages of 40-30 in the paint and 19-9 on fastbreaks. The Bruins converted 17 Long Beach State turnovers into 25 points. UCLA coughed up 15 turnovers, but the Beach only converted 16 points from the takeaways.

Lassina Traore led Long Beach State with 14 points and matched a team high with seven rebounds. Aboubacar Traore also grabbed seven rebounds to go with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field.

Jadon Jones added 10 points in the loss, and Joel Murray finished with 10 points and a game-high seven assists, but he was forced into four turnovers.

That lead didn’t last long.

Trammell hit a 3-pointer and added a free throw after a steal. BYU’s Noah Waterman made a free throw, but Mensah, LeDee and Lamont Butler each converted layups as the Aztecs took their biggest lead to that point, 71-68.

Williams gave BYU some hope with a layup, but Mensah responded with his own layup and then a defensive gem, blocking a Traore dunk attempt from behind.

Trammell stretched the Aztecs’ edge to 76-70 with another trey with 2:03 to play.

BYU outshot San Diego State from the field, 45.9 percent to 40 percent. However, the Aztecs held a huge advantage at the charity stripe, converting 26 of 37 free throws compared to BYU’s 10-for-16 outing.

The Cougars went ahead 52-42 early in the second half after George hit a couple of 3-pointers and Traore compiled a layup and a jumper.

Mensah snapped the Aztecs’ cold spell with a three-point play, and San Diego State scored eight consecutive to pull within 52-50.

BYU went up 18-8 after an 11-1 run, but San Diego State responded with a 12-0 surge for a two-point lead. The Cougars took a 40-36 lead into the break after shooting 50 percent in the opening half.
