Arizona (26-7) labored offensively before Ayton sparked the Wildcats in the second half. UCLA (21-11) matched Arizona nearly shot for shot, tying the game with about 5 minutes to go.
UCLA's Jaylen Hands tied it at 67 on a drive with 8 seconds left in regulation and teammate Aaron Holiday's runner at the buzzer was off the mark after an Arizona turnover.
