LOS ANGELES – Maybe Sean Miller should have stayed home all week.
So sick last Monday that he made a rare absence from practice, the Arizona coach watched his team suffer a second-consecutive blowout loss, 90-69 to UCLA, with the Wildcats again appearing to lack any sort of rhythm or confidence without injured center Chase Jeter.
Arizona shot just 33.3 percent from the field and gave up 57.9 percent to UCLA, while the Bruins also crushed the Wildcats in rebounding margin, 57-40. The Wildcats did manage to hit 8 of 26 3s after making 6 of 13 from long range in the second half, when the game was effectively over.
