In the time it takes to complete an eight-clap, UCLA went from rollicking to reeling in the second half Saturday.
One minute the Bruins had Pauley Pavilion roaring amid a series of layups and three-point shots that pushed their lead into double digits, the next they were trailing after surrendering a massive Oregon run.
That would be Aaron Holiday, the Bruins' most indispensable player and the driving force behind their late-season push toward the NCAA tournament. The junior point guard rarely comes out of games, except when he experiences foul trouble like he did against the Ducks, because his absence hurts his team across the board.
