In their last game against the Washington Huskies, the Wildcats dominated with a 91-75 victory. They displayed remarkable scoring efficiency with a field goal percentage of 47 and an even more impressive three-point percentage of 43. Their free throw accuracy was also notable at 76 percent. Defensively, they were formidable with six blocks and nine steals, contributing to their fast break points tally of 25.


The previous game saw a tighter contest against the Washington State Cougars where the Wildcats edged out with a narrow win of 74-77. Despite lower shooting percentages across the board compared to their last game – field goals at 45 percent and three-pointers at 28 percent – they managed to secure victory through strategic plays and solid defense.

Against Arizona State Sun Devils earlier in February, Arizona's offensive prowess was on full display as they cruised to an overwhelming victory scoring over a hundred points (105). Their shooting was exceptional; two-point attempts were successful 65 percent of the time while maintaining strong overall field goal (57 percent) and free throw percentages (78 percent).


The upcoming match promises excitement as both teams bring their strengths onto the court. The venue may play into UCLA's hands as home-court advantage often proves influential in college basketball dynamics.
