UCLA's shooting woes resurface in 86-75 loss to Arizona

Bryce Alford’s final shot was more than a chance to salvage an ugly stat line. The UCLA shooting guard spotted up from the corner and launched the ball, his team in need of points in a hurry.

The ball sailed all the way over the rim.

The Bruins’ final game before the ones that matter most was an airball, their epic shooting struggles and sagging defense resulting in an 86-75 loss to Arizona in a Pac-12 Conference tournament semifinal Friday night at T-Mobile Arena.

UCLA (29-4) lost more than what had been a 10-game winning streak, the Bruins squandering some of the considerable momentum they had recently build with two shaky showings in consecutive games heading into the NCAA tournament.
