EUGENE, Ore. (AP) _ Aaron Brooks scored 25 points, including the game-winning jumper with 13 seconds left, and No. 16 Oregon handed No. 1 UCLA its first loss of the season, 68-66 on Saturday.

Darren Collison hit a 3-pointer to bring the Bruins (14-1, 3-1 Pac-10) into a 66-66 tie. Brooks, who had 31 points on Thursday night when the Ducks (14-1, 2-1) lost for the first time this season, hit the baseline jumper to give Oregon the lead.

UCLA worked the ball around 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 shot was short, setting off a celebration on McArthur Court.

Oregon beat UCLA when it was ranked No. 1 in 1974, when current Ducks coach Ernie Kent was a player.

Oregon, which lost 84-82 to Southern California on Thursday, led 40-30 at halftime.
