Poor defense and fouling doom Arizona Basketball

It was another less-than-stellar evening for Arizona Basketball (9-3, 3-3), as the Wildcats came up short in their 81-76 loss to the UCLA Bruins (9-2, 5-0).

James Akinjo would finish with 25 points and eight assists on 8-16 shooting, and Azoulas Tubelis and Ben Mathurin would provide some electric plays, combining for 23 points and 12 rebounds, but it, unfortunately, wasn’t enough for Arizona Basketball in their 81-76 loss to UCLA.
