How they match up: The season series 

Thanks to the Pac-12’s unbalanced schedule, the Wildcats saw only UCLA once this season and they might be glad they didn’t have to do so twice. At McKale Center on Feb. 21, UCLA trailed by 12 points at halftime but rallied early in the second half and lost 57-47 in a defensive struggle when both teams shot under 39 percent.
