UCLA 84 Arizona 73

Forget the lofty rankings. Forget the won and loss records. Forget the fact you're at home in front of 14,617 screaming fans. If you're the sixth-ranked Arizona Wildcats and you take 73 shots from the field and make just 28 of them, chances are you're going to lose. Arizona shoots just 38 percent and just 21 percent from beyond the three-point arc and lose tonight at McKale Center to the UCLA Bruins, 84-73.

Arizona falls to 16-2 and 4-2 in the Pac-12 and will undoubtedly fall out of the Top-10 when the AP Poll is released on Monday. The Wildcats have less than 48 hours to regroup and prepare for the USC Trojans. A loss to USC and Arizona could fall even further in the polls. But, more importantly, another loss and the Wildcats, whether they are ranked or not, will find themselves three games back of league-leading Oregon in the Pac-12 standings.

At McKale tonight, Nick Johnson led the Wildcats with 23 points. Unfortunately, he made just nine of 19 shots. Mark Lyons scored 16. Unfortunately, he made just six of 17 shots.
