Arizona Wildcats vs UCLA Bruins — November 2, 2026

About This Game

Arizona and UCLA traded blows for most of 40 minutes at T-Mobile Arena, but UCLA's bench and its 17-10 edge in made field goals and threes separated the two. The Bruins built their lead in the first half, going on a 14-point run to go up 27-13, and took a 43-29 lead into halftime. Arizona's reserves were outscored 17-4 in that span, and the Wildcats struggled from outside, making just 1 of 13 threes in the opening 20 minutes, which left Kharchenkov carrying the load.

Arizona fought back. Kharchenkov's free throws with 3:11 left brought the Wildcats within a point, and the game turned into a tense finish. UCLA held on at the line and on the boards, though Arizona actually out-rebounded them 47 to 46. Arizona's 24 free throws made and 19 fouls drawn show how hard the Wildcats pushed to get to the stripe, while UCLA's 26 fouls committed tell a story of its own.

Neither side shot particularly well overall, with both teams missing more than 40 shots. In the end it was UCLA's efficiency from three-point range and its depth that closed the door. This game is available as a Gameprint, custom wall art that visualizes every play.
