LAS VEGAS, NV – Taking to Sin City for the Pac-12 Tournament, No. 21 Arizona Women’s Basketball (21-8, 11-7) will have a battle against the Bruins. 

Unfortunately, No. 21 Arizona Women’s Basketball limps into the annual Pac-12 Tournament after a disappointing finish to the 2022-23 regular season.

Losing to Oregon and Oregon State in disappointing fashion, Arizona Basketball will need to rebound in a big way as the Wildcats take on a talented UCLA team in the Quarterfinal Round of the Conference Tournament.

Coming into this one, the Bruins are a skilled and well-coached team. And although the Wildcats won the last time these two teams played, throw those previous results out the window as they will be a significant challenge for Arizona.

If the Wildcats are to get the win, they will need to start hot and play with better execution and effort than we saw last weekend. If Arizona starts slow and UCLA gets hot, it is going to be a long day for the Cats!

And with Arizona Women’s Basketball preparing for UCLA, here is how you can watch and follow their game.

Arizona Game Preview:

Kicking off Conference Tournament play against UCLA, Arizona looks to get back on track after losing to Oregon and Oregon State shockingly last week.

And entering Thursday’s action, this should be a tough matchup for the Wildcats as both squads share quite the competitive history here, with UCLA dominating this series since 1977, holding the 63-23 advantage. However, the Wildcats have won four of the last six matchups.

The last time both of these teams met was in Tucson in early February where Arizona came away with a narrow, 71-66 win over the Bruins.

However, Arizona will have a huge challenge in this one as winning in tournament situations are never easy, plus, UCLA is a very skilled team that is going to bring it. If Arizona is to win, they will need to be focused and bring the effort because we know the Bruins will! Tip-off is set for 1:00 P.M. Tucson time!
