In the middle of the worst shooting game of his career, Kerr Kriisa was serenaded with chants of “MVP! MVP!” by the UCLA student section during a 16-point loss to the Bruins. Ten days later, he—and Arizona—got its revenge.
Kriisa scored a team-high 16 points, hitting three 3-pointers including a game-clinching one with 1:50 left to help the Wildcats get revenge with a 76-66 victory on Thursday night at McKale Center.
Seventh-ranked Arizona (18-2, 8-1 Pac-12) ended a 6-game skid to UCLA (16-3, 8-2) and moved back into first place in the conference and is now a game up in the loss column on the third-ranked Bruins.
