UCLA vs Arizona Basketball Preview
The No. 3 UCLA Bruins (16-2, 8-1 Pac-12) look to sweep the season series against the No. 7 Arizona Wildcats (17-2, 7-1 Pac-12) when the conference foes lock up for the second time in a ten-day period on Thursday night.
The Bruins moved into first place in the Pac-12 following a 75-59 win over the Wildcats at home on Jan. 25. The loss was Arizona’s first in conference play this season.
UCLA comes into the rematch, winners of six in a row, including a 66-43 victory over Stanford this past Saturday.
Senior guard Jules Bernard led the way for the Bruins with 16 points and nine rebounds, while junior guard/forward Jake Kyman tallied a season-high 15 points.
The real MVP of Saturday’s contest was the Bruins’ defense, who held Stanford to 27 percent shooting from the floor and forced 22 Cardinal turnovers.
“I knew last March when we were on that run, when guys are defending because they want to and guys are trying to tip passes because they want to,” said UCLA head coach Mick Cronin following last weekend’s win. “And when guys are going after the loose balls, not because I’m making them. You can tell as a coach when you’ve done this long enough, you can tell when the team is just trying to win at all costs. And if you don’t win, you don’t win. But you can’t ask for anything more than that.”
UCLA’s defense was also paramount in the win over Arizona last week when they held the Wildcats’ high-scoring offense to their season-low output. Arizona ranks third in the nation in scoring with 86 points per game but was held to 59 at Pauley Pavilion in the first meeting.
The Wildcats bounced back with a 67-56 win over Arizona State last Saturday, despite their second straight poor shooting performance. As a team, Arizona shot only 32 percent from the floor and went 3 for 23 from three-point range.
Benedict Mathurin and Oumar Ballo led the Wildcats with 14 points each in the win. Mathurin, who is averaging 17.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game this season, was named to the Late Season Top 20 Watch List for the John R. Wooden Player of the Year Award.
Arizona has been paced by their offense for most of the season, but it was their stingy defensive performance on Saturday that propelled them over their in-state rivals.
“We’re a good defensive team and to be able to hang your hat on your defense in a stretch where your offense is struggling like it is, it’s very important to competing for championships,” said Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd.
Arizona began the season 12-0 before they fell to Tennessee on Dec. 22. UCLA’s lone two losses this season have come to Gonzaga and Oregon.
Following Thursday’s game, UCLA will take on Arizona State on the road on Saturday, while Arizona will face No. 19 USC at home on Saturday.
