ARIZONA SCOUTING REPORT
No. 1 seed UCLA vs No. 2 seed Arizona * Pac-12 Tournament championship game * T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas * 8:30 p.m. * ESPN * 1290-AM, 107.5-FMF Azuolas Tubelis People are also reading… F David Singleton How they got here: Arizona went 14-6 in the Pac-12 to finish in a second place tie with USC, earning the Pac-12 Tournament’s No. 2 seed based on its season sweep of the Trojans, and then beat Stanford 95-84 in a quarterfinal game Thursday and ASU 78-59 on the semifinals on Friday.
On March 4 in Los Angeles, UCLA spotted Arizona an 13-2 lead but came back to dominate most of the time in an 82-73 win. Arizona shot 47.4% but the Wildcats were outrebounded 38-32 and coughed up 17 turnovers that led to 16 UCLA points. What’s new with the Bruins: UCLA has been forced to adjust in the Pac-12 Tournament without wing Jaylen Clark, the Pac-12’s Defensive Player of the Year. UCLA has said only that he’s out this week after suffering a lower leg injury against Arizona last Saturday but several reports said Clark is out for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury.
"Tyger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez are two of the best players in college basketball, not just in our conference, and the rest of the team is playing with great enthusiasm and a lot of confidence. After Friday's game, UCLA coach Mick Cronin indicated that's exactly the sort of thing he is looking for. “So I think these guys deserve it. And the other thing is there's Quad 1 wins and then there are really good Quad 1 wins. Any time you go on a neutral and beat Creighton or you beat USC on a neutral or you go to Arizona and win, those are serious wins. That’s not sitting on your home court, gobbling up a Quad 1 game.
