Arizona was locked into the No. 2 seed for the Pac-12 Tournament, and it’s probably getting no worse than a No. 3 seed for the NCAA tourney.
That didn’t make Saturday’s regular-season finale at UCLA meaningless, but there was a lot less at stake than their could have been. Which is good, because after the first nine minutes or so the Wildcats did not put forth a particularly strong effort in losing 82-73 to the fourth-ranked Bruins at Pauley Pavilion.
No. 8 Arizona ends the regular season with a 25-6 overall record and a 14-6 mark in Pac-12 play, finishing four games behind the Bruins (27-4, 18-2) in the league standings.
