Arizona men’s basketball rallies to beat USC, complete home first sweep of LA schools since 2016

The Arizona Wildcats remain unbeaten at home, but those wins have become much, much harder.

The UA used a 10-0 run late in the second half to rally from down six, then held No. 19 USC over the final 3:57 to win 72-63 on Saturday afternoon at McKale Center.

Third-ranked Arizona (19-2, 9-1 Pac-12) outscored USC 18-3 over the final 6:29, hitting 7 of 9 free throws down the stretch to complete its first home sweep of the Los Angeles schools since 2016. It was the UA’s 15th straight home win, but after winning its first 10 at McKale this season by an average of 31.
