TUCSON, Ariz. – Allonzo Trier scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half, Parker Jackson-Cartwright added 16 points and No.17 Arizona rallied to edge UCLA, 81-75, on Friday night.
Arizona (20-5, 8-4 Pac-12) stumbled through a lackluster first half at both ends to trail by 10. The Wildcats tightened up defensively in the second and took advantage of UCLA’s foul trouble to wear down the Bruins.
UCLA (13-11, 4-7) had centers Thomas Welsh and Tony Parker foul out in a span of 42 seconds late in the second half and Arizona took advantage by pounding the ball inside.
