Heading to Los Angeles this weekend, Arizona women’s basketball needed to make something happen. With a bad showing against No. 14 UCLA and a USC team that’s receiving votes in the polls, it could mean facing No. 2 Stanford on Thursday with a three-game losing streak in tow.
The Wildcats were having none of it. It took overtime in both games, but Arizona will return to Tucson in sole possession of fourth place in the Pac-12 and on a two-game winning streak while the Cardinal will come in off a surprising loss to Washington. Arizona defeated USC 81-75 in double overtime to complete the sweep on the LA road trip for the first time since 2002.
