TONIGHT’S GAMES

WOMEN

Arizona (5-8, 1-2) at UCLA (7-6, 2-2), 7 -- After a deflating Bay Area weekend with losses to California and Stanford, the Bruins will try to recover against a struggling Arizona team that has lost six of seven. But the Wildcats swept UCLA last season, and have won three of the last four meetings. UCLA guard Lisa Willis (20.0) remains the conference’s leading scorer.

No. 9 Arizona State (12-1, 3-0) at USC (8-5, 2-2), Lyon Center, 7, 1540 -- The Trojans also were swept by Cal and Stanford last weekend, and now face the Pacific 10 Conference’s hottest team. Arizona State has won nine in a row, its longest streak in 10 years, and is the lone unbeaten team in conference play. USC guard Camille LeNoir ranks third among Pac-10 players in assists (4.15).
