Monique Billings scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and No. 12 UCLA raced past Arizona for a 72-51 win in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals on Friday.
UCLA (23-7) used a big first half to take a 21-point halftime lead and cruised into the semifinals. The Bruins will face California on Saturday after the Golden Bears upset No. 10 Arizona State. The Bruins knocked off Arizona 80-53 a week ago in Los Angeles and followed up with another dominating performance to reach the Pac-12 semifinals for the first time since 2013 when UCLA lost in the championship game to Stanford.
