TUCSON – Lonzo Ball plays like Sgt. Joe Friday on “Dragnet.” Just the facts, ma’am.
For such a crowd-pleaser he rarely aspires for the spectacular. The intriguing thing about him, and also about UCLA, is that he leaves you wondering just how much is underneath, in times of emergency.
Maybe those moments are waiting next month. On Saturday at Arizona, everything was well within his power.
UCLA won this one, 77-72, breaking Arizona’s 20-game home winning streak in the least comfortable arena in the Pac-12. McKale Center was designed with migraines in mind. Since the beginning of the 2013-14 season the Wildcats were 67-11 here, best record in Division I.
