When: 6.

Where: Gill Coliseum, Corvallis, Ore.

On the air: TV: Pac-12 Networks; Radio 570.

Records: UCLA 11-7, 3-2 in the Pac-12; Oregon State 12-5, 3-2.

Update: The Bruins have used the same starting lineup in all 18 games, but center Tony Parker has been suffering from back spasms and probably will be a game-time decision against the Beavers. Losing Parker would shorten an already thin eight-man rotation and put pressure on freshman center Thomas Welsh, who would start in Parker’s place. Under first-year head Coach Wayne Tinkle, Oregon State hasn’t lost at home this year and upset Arizona less than two weeks ago. Junior guard Gary Payton II, the son of the Hall of Fame player, leads the team with 11.8 points per game.
