The UCLA Bruins and Arizona Wildcats are not in the same conference anyone as the Pac-12 saw a mass exodus. However, the two programs faced off against each other in a nonconference game on Saturday night as part of a series.
UCLA improved to 9-1 with another win, and the only loss for Mick Cronin’s team came early in the year against New Mexico in Nevada.
However, it wasn’t an easy win as UCLA came back from a 13-point deficit and walked out of Tucson with the 57-54 victory.
Tyler Bilodeau showcased his talent again with a game-high 17 points on 8-of-15 from the field.
Skyy Clark, a transfer from Louisville, added 15 for the Bruins and he hit two free throws in the closing seconds to secure the win.
It was another positive step for UCLA, and they face Prairie View A&M before a huge two-game set against North Carolina and Gonzaga to finish the calendar year.
