Scouting report for No. 11 Arizona's clash with No. 5 UCLA at McKale Center: Series history, players to watch, assistant coach Jack Murphy's take on the Bruins and more.
F Azuolas Tubelis C Adem Bona
However, UCLA beat Arizona 75-59 in Los Angeles on Jan. 25, when the Wildcats shot just 30.7% and forward Azuolas Tubelis was limited after suffering a significant ankle sprain at Stanford five days earlier. While the Bruins lost three starters from last season, including all-league wing Johnny Juzang, they added five-star talents in center Adem Bona and wing Amari Bailey. While Bailey missed the Bruins’ 74-62 win at Arizona State on Thursday with a foot injury, UCLA coach Mick Cronin said afterward that Bailey is “close” and might play Saturday against the Wildcats.
He said it“They’re playing with ultimate confidence. Those guys have done it. They’ve been to the Final Four … you have to give them a ton of credit, a ton of respect. “I mean, they're UCLA. They're always talented. … You can't say enough about their players. They have some of the best talent in the conference, and they have to be considered a national-title favorite. Not a contender. They have to be on the shortlist of favorites to win the whole thing”Because Campbell directs an offense with the weapons to go any number of directions, defenses no doubt would prefer to get to him first. But it's not easy.
Jamari Phillips, a four-star guard in the class of 2024, was a classmate of Itete’s at Modesto Christian until he transferred to AZ Compass Prep earlier this month.“I’m going to be on campus @uarizona tomorrow, come say wassgood!! #beardown”
