The Arizona Wildcats flipped a switch Saturday at McKale Center to record their biggest win of the season over the UCLA Bruins.
With a slipping offensive efficiency in recent weeks, Arizona Wildcats flipped on a different switch Saturday at McKale Center to record their biggest win of the season.The No. 11 Wildcats held fifth-ranked UCLA to a season-low 31.3% shooting, while getting the usual heavy production inside from Oumar Ballo and Azuolas Tubelis plus just enough perimeter shooting to keep things humming.
The Bruins pressed Arizona on its ensuing possession, and while UA broke through to get Tubelis the ball under the basket, he was defended and took a hard fall under the basket. Pelle Larsson rebounded the miss and initially was given credit for the basket via a goaltending call but, after officials reviewed the ball, the call was waved off and UCLA received the ball back with the game score still at 56-52.
Jaquez had 12 points and 11 rebounds to lead UCLA, while Campbell had 13 points and seven assists and Jaylen Clark had 12 points and 10 rebounds. Ballo had 12 points and four rebounds for the Wildcats in the first half, while Clark led UCLA with 10 points and six rebounds.
