UCLA expert previews the Arizona game, makes a score prediction

Arizona is nearing the end of its hellish 5-game run against ranked opponents, visiting the ninth-ranked UCLA Bruins on Saturday night. The Wildcats (3-6, 1-5 Pac-12) have dropped the first four in this run, getting outscored 188-118 including 45-20 last time out at Utah.
