Pac-10

Ed Gray scored 29 points and Randy Duck added 17 as California beat UCLA 71-68 Thursday night, snapping the Bruins’ 18-game Pac-10 winning streak at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.

Cal won its sixth straight conference game to tie the Bruins for first place, along with Arizona and USC. The Bears had lost 31 consecutive road games against the Bruins.

Toby Bailey missed a jumper with 14 seconds to go and Gray made 1 of 2 free throws to keep Cal ahead 70-66. After UCLA’s Cameron Dollar made a layup with 8 seconds left, Cal’s Prentice McGruder made 1 of 2 at the line. UCLA had a chance to tie with 7 seconds left. Dollar went the length of the court and passed to Bailey, who shot an airball from behind the arc as time expired.
