UCLA vs Arizona Preview
This game will be played at a neutral arena, with a chance to clinch a ticket to the big dance. Arizona is the favorite in this one, but UCLA has more than enough to get the job done. Both teams will make the tournament regardless of the outcome of this game.
Arizona Trying To Finish Off Impressive Year
The Arizona Wildcats have been one of the best teams in the country all season long as they finished with the number one seed in the Pac-12 after going 30-3 overall and 18-2 in the conference. They have beaten many impressive teams this season including already beating the UCLA Bruins earlier in the year.
In the Pac-12 tournament, Arizona has beaten Stanford and the Colorado Buffaloes. In their most recent game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Friday night, Arizona was able to walk away with a 10-point victory as they had four players in double figures.
UCLA Has Been Here Before
The UCLA Bruins have been another team that has arguably been a top-five to 10 team in the country all season long. They’re going to be coming into this one as the number two seed in the Pac-12 tournament and they have looked impressive all year as well. They also beat Arizona in one of the matchups this season and have other impressive wins throughout the year.
UCLA is going to be coming into this one after beating Washington State and the USC Trojans in the tournament. In the UCLA Bruins’ most recent game against USC, they were able to walk away with a 69-59 victory where Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the way with 19 points.

Free CBB Picks — UCLA vs Arizona
For this game, I’m going to take UCLA with the +1.5 point spread. I also like UCLA to win outright, but whenever we can get a point or two in March, it’s always best to take the spread.
UCLA has been in situations like this before as they made it deep into the March Madness Tournament a year ago. They did lose a few players from that team, but they also returned a few key pieces, and that experience is going to come back to be extremely valuable in games like this.
