In 1974, Ernie Kent played for an Oregon team that upset No. 1 UCLA. Thirty-three years later, Kent sobbed when his Ducks again knocked off the top-ranked Bruins.

"This is a together basketball team," the Oregon coach said after the 16th-ranked Ducks handed UCLA its first loss of the season, 68-66, yesterday in Eugene, Ore. "Their spirit is unbelievable."

Aaron Brooks scored 25 points, including the winning jumper with 13 seconds left for Oregon (14-1, 2-1 Pac-10). That was the Ducks' only field goal in the final 7 minutes.

Darren Collison made a 3-pointer to bring the Bruins (14-1, 3-1) into a 66-66 tie. Brooks, who had 31 points Thursday night in an 84-82 loss to Southern California, the Ducks' first this season, hit the baseline jumper to give Oregon the lead.

UCLA worked the ball over the final seconds and instead of going toward the basket for a chance at tying it, Josh Shipp's 3-point attempt at the buzzer was short.
