Some Startling Lows Reached on Disastrous Visit to Arizona

Share

The Bruins, or what remained of them, returned home Saturday night to heal from the trip to Arizona, a two-game swing--and a miss--that became their first sweep there since 1988-89 and a debacle of historic proportions.

How bad was it?

* The 203 points allowed was the most in consecutive games in the lifetime of a program that began in 1919-20.

* Only Arizona scoring only nine points in the final four minutes Saturday after sending in the scrubs, giving the Wildcats 99, saved UCLA from allowing triple digits in back-to-back games for the first time.

* The Bruins trailed by 21 points in the first half and 31 in the second Thursday at Arizona State and by 22 in the first half and 25 in the second at Arizona, meaning they were never in either game.

* UCLA trailed for all but 2:25--the start against the Sun Devils--of the 80 minutes.

* UCLA trailed by double digits for all but 20:19 of the 80 minutes.

* Three times in two games the Bruins fouled someone on a three-pointer: Earl Watson and Ray Young on Eddie House separately in Tempe and Watson on Luke Walton in Tucson.

* Watson fouled out Thursday with 14:08 remaining after getting his fifth personal 35 feet from the basket and fouled out Saturday with 9:05 left.
