PACIFIC-10 CONFERENCE

UCLA (5-7, 0-1) at Arizona (6-6, 0-1), 1 p.m. PST -- The Bruins nearly upset host Arizona State in their conference opener Friday, taking a one-point lead on a steal and layup by freshman guard Darxia Morris with 1 minute 35 seconds remaining. However, UCLA missed its final three shots and lost for the seventh time in its last nine games. Morris scored a team-high 14 points and continues to be a bright spot for the Bruins. Arizona freshman forward Ify Ibekwe, the team’s second-leading scorer and sister of UCLA sophomore center Chinyere Ibekwe, sat out Friday’s loss to USC and is questionable because of an eye injury.
