UCLA Routs Oregon State : College basketball: Edney’s career-high 22 points help keep No. 6 Bruins unbeaten, 104-71.

This was hardly fair, and Brent Barry, Oregon State forward, wore the frustration on his face.

“This is the most undisciplined I’ve seen us,” Barry said.

Undisciplined was only part of the problem against No. 6 UCLA on Saturday as the Bruins ran away with a 104-71 Pacific 10 Conference victory before 8,684 at Pauley Pavilion.

Without two of its strongest inside players, Oregon State was no match against a team that is making routs routine. Injuries to 6-foot-7 Mustapha Hoff and 6-7 Sonny Benjamin of Riverside North High have depleted the Beavers’ front line.

“With our talent, we can’t get away with (not executing),” said Barry, the son of former NBA star Rick Barry.

Against UCLA (9-0), Oregon State could not get away with much, not even with Barry’s 18 points, including three three-pointers.

Playing with intensity that was lacking in Thursday’s victory over Oregon, UCLA opened a 19-7 lead against the Beavers (4-7).

“They took our players right out of sync,” Oregon State Coach Jim Anderson said. “We completely panicked. From that moment on, it was a disaster for us.”

Bruin point guard Tyus Edney had a career-high 22 points, along with eight assists and four rebounds. A junior from Long Beach Poly, Edney has struggled this season because of injuries. But Saturday he was playing at full strength, prompting Anderson to call him the conference’s smartest point guard.

Some of Edney’s shrewdest moments involved finding UCLA’s offensive threats, Ed O’Bannon and Shon Tarver, who scored 22 and 20, respectively. But when the Beavers were slow in setting up defensively, Edney burned them with easy layups. Edney made nine of 11 shots and all four of his free throws.

After taking a 47-24 halftime lead, UCLA showed no signs of letting up in extending its lead to 56-28 with 17:31 to play. Ed O’Bannon was effective inside and out and had only one way to explain it.

“We’re having fun,” he said.

O’Bannon, a 6-8 junior, had the game’s most spectacular play with a one-handed dunk off of Tarver’s lob for a 74-39 lead with 11:54 left.

“Ridiculous,” Charles O’Bannon said of his brother’s effort.

“I’m glad the whistle blew, because I couldn’t have played defense after that.”

According to Tarver, the play illustrates the difference between this season’s team and last’s.

“This year people can read quicker,” he said. “Last year, our minds were in motion more than our bodies.”

Barry recalled last season’s game in Westwood in which the Bruins escaped with a 79-73 victory.

Now he has gained enormous respect for UCLA.

“This is a team that could make some noise,” he said. “They are so athletic, they could win a national championship.”

With the bulk of the Pac-10 season still to play, few in Westwood are ready to go that far.

The question is whether the Bruins are.
