It’s really pretty simple. UCLA needs a win tonight.
Tonight’s game against Arizona is UCLA’s best chance to pick up a road win against a quality opponent. If the Bruins can pull it off, it will go a long way to helping UCLA get into the NCAA Tournament.
Oh, and, of course, it would definitely improve the Bruins’ chances of winning the Pac-12 regular season title. Right now, they are two games behind the Wildcats and a win would cut that deficit to just one game.
Where: McKale Center, Tucson, AZ
But, if UCLA cannot defeat Arizona, it could be the first game of a long final stretch of the season.
