NOTABLES
• The Wildcats defeated USC in Los Angeles on Thursday, 87-81, to secure the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas next week.

• Arizona has won the last three meetings overall against UCLA in Tucson and in the Pac12 Tournament Championship game in Las Vegas last season followed by the 58-52 victory in Tucson earlier this season. The last time Arizona won four straight against UCLA was Jan. 17, 2004 through Feb. 12, 2005.
• A win today would give Arizona a four-game regular season sweep of USC and UCLA for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
• The last time Arizona won at Pauley Pavilion was Jan. 21, 2017, a 96-85 victory over No. 3 UCLA. Since then, the Wildcats have lost four in a row on the Bruins home court.
• In Pac-12 play, Arizona (77.8) lead the conference in scoring while UCLA allows the fewest points (58.6).

Cracking 1

Radio guys (Kelvin Eafon) expecting Lloyd to play a lot of 4 guards as an option to match up on the perimeter better.

Plus would be seeing Boswell on Tyger!

Let's go!!!

gotta finish the season strong!!

And the misses weren't even close

Couldn't ask for a better start

Hell yeah 2 on Bona

Zu came to play

Bill really should arrange for Luke to help on the broadcast. I haven't heard Luke talk, but he might be able do "Oh Dad!" Bill into something approaching lucidity.

The three guys could make for a fun listening experience.

Why is there a tech on Ramey - I missed it.

Zu is unstoppable

Refs stopping game for non existent blood..anything to slow the cats and take them out of their rhythm

Then he does the freshman mistake of making a bad pass, then fouling the shooter, a 4 point turn around.

Double tech on Ramey and Clark. If you were watching a couple of plays earlier there's an inbounds under our basket and right before we inbounded it you could see on camera Ramey walked by Jaime and just intentionally hit him with a shoulder. Jaime didn't blink but it wasn't long after that Ramey and Clark got the Double T. I'm assuming it was just Clark returning the favor and simply got caught

Tubelis is always tossing elbows under the basket after a play.

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, , ,

Giving up open 3s.

Time to catch our breath and go back to pounding it down low to Zu.

They have been open all game. UA has decided not to play defense again.

Amari Bailey is MIA, not even on the bench right now

Go back to the big men dominating inside

If we are a team that’s going to compete for a conference and national championship then we will respond right here.

Cripes, can Walton and Roxy stick to the fucking game?

How was that foul not on tyger?

So far I guess we aren’t.

Kylan!

Boz!!!

Oh good. Maybe now the announcers at this basketball game can talk about the basketball game.

We’ve got to come at every ball like it’s gonna be contested, because it will be.

Cats playing like they have already lost.

Fucking flop

Obviously a flop since he was about to flop on the first shoulder bump

I see UCLA has been taking flop lessons from Bobby Hurley

"truck stop conferences"

Brittny Grindr in for UCLA

K3RR!!!!!!

Fuck UCLA.

Jesus Christ we are about to let this offensively inept team score 80+ on us. Play some fucking defense!

Will our fouls be called fouls in the ncaa tourney?
