One of the frequent complaints about the Pac-12’s unbalanced schedule has been that Arizona and UCLA don’t always meet every season at McKale Center.
Um, maybe that isn’t such a bad thing for the Wildcats.
Shooting a season-worst 25.4-percent from the field in a 65-52 loss to the Bruins, Arizona lost its third straight game to UCLA at McKale and is now just 3-4 against the Bruins in Tucson since the Pac-12 added Utah and Colorado in 2011-12 and began playing an unbalanced schedule.
Saturday’s game was the ugliest version yet against the Bruins, now a more defensive-minded bunch under first-year coach Mick Cronin.
