Two of the nation’s five unbeaten teams went head-to-head Sunday in Westwood, meaning a long winning streak was going to end one way or another.
Unfortunately for the Arizona Wildcats, it had to be them.
The No. 10 UCLA Bruins used a strong third quarter to pull away for a 70-58 victory over the 18th-ranked Wildcats. It snaps Arizona’s 19-game winning streak dating back to last season, which was the longest in the country and included a WNIT championship and UA’s first victory at Arizona State in two decades.
UCLA (14-0, 3-0 Pac-12) outscored the Wildcats 28-13 in the third quarter, thanks to some hot 3-point shooting.
