Down 11 with less than five minutes to go, the first leg of Arizona’s trip to Los Angeles had all the makings of another tough road loss. Then the 22nd-ranked Wildcats erupted for 15 consecutive points, including the first four of overtime, and held on to beat No. 14 UCLA.
Now comes a chance to do something it hasn’t done in more than 20 years: pull off a road sweep in the City of Angels.
Arizona takes on USC on Sunday afternoon seeking its first road sweep of the LA schools since 2002. The Wildcats are 8-3 away from home this season, 2-3 in Pac-12 road games, while USC is 11-1 at the Galen Center with its only loss coming to rival UCLA in mid-December.
