Offense sputters as Arizona men’s basketball falls at UCLA

Now we know what it looks like when the Arizona Wildcats can’t run, and it wasn’t pretty.

The UA shot a season-low 30.7 percent, its worst shooting performance in almost two years, and managed just three fast-break points in a 75-59 loss at No. 7 UCLA on Tuesday night.

The makeup of a game originally scheduled for Dec. 30 saw the third-ranked Wildcats (16-2, 6-1 Pac-12) fall to the Bruins (14-2, 6-1) for the sixth straight time. The teams will have a rematch on Feb. 3 at McKale Center.

Bennedict Mathurin led the UA with 16 points but he was just 5 of 22 from the field.
