UCLA Basketball: The Hard Reality of Not Playing Defense

It was the “Game of the Year” in the Pac-12. The #14 Arizona and #3 UCLA Basketball teams were squaring off in world famous Pauley Pavilion.

It was the hottest ticket in town as Pauley sold out for this epic battle. On top of that, UCLA was honoring the greatest basketball player of all-time, former 3-time UCLA Basketball champion, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Everything was set this west coast heavyweight showdown. The only problem is that Arizona was the only team to show up. More precisely, Arizona was the only team to finish.

The Bruins have been the epitome of an offensive force.
