The series: Bryce Alford had 25 points while making 5 of 11 3-pointers, including a game-winning three over Kaleb Tarczewski with three seconds left, to give the Bruins an 87-84 win over Arizona last season at Pauley Pavilion. However, the Wildcats also held serve in the regular-season series, beating the Bruins 81-75 at McKale Center by overcoming an 11-point second half deficit and holding UCLA to just 38.7-percent shooting after halftime.Β
