A win this afternoon will cap off a pretty good Arizona weekend.

Let’s face it UCLA is playing much better basketball at the moment. If we can grit out a win it will be impressive, and it will tell me a little more about this team.

We seem to play better vs better competition. I think we are going to get a good game this afternoon

This one will definitely be tough abd come down to that last 4 minutes. Execution in that span will be key

Don't see this game being very close. UCLA has superior point guard play; Arizona does not. I think Arizona plays hard but UCLA plays smart. 71-58 Bruins. Honestly I think UCLA is a legit FF, NC team. Coach Cronin has done an amazing job.

UCLA has not won against a team higher rated (KenPom) than Arizona.

Last year in our two wins we locked them down on defense in the last 4-8 minutes of the game. With no Terry or Koloko who can guard the PnR that worries me. Hopefully we see a great game from Boswell and Ramey defensively

I think we'll win in close, dramatic fashion. USC gave me hope the team is back on the right track.

These refs are whistle-happy

If this is going to be a defensive game let's just get UCLA in foul trouble.

UCLA is doing a great job taking us out of our offense. We're going to need to settle down and move the ball to get the shots we want

The worst thing is that when its chaotic like this the players have no way to adjust…

He’d be a better player if his attitude was to dunk everything around the basket. Flipping shots in while getting hacked isn’t going to work against ucla today

The main difference so far is that they’re killing us on the boards
