TUCSON, Arizona (Ticker) - In its final road game of the season, fourth-ranked UCLA goes for its fifth straight win and hopes to remain in first place in the Pac-10 Conference when it visits Arizona on Sunday.
Seeking their third straight regular-season conference crown, the Bruins (25-3, 13-2 Pac-10) hold a one-half game lead over Stanford. UCLA hosts the Cardinal in a conference showdown next Thursday.
Freshman Kevin Love had 18 points and 12 rebounds and Josh Shipp and Darren Collison each scored 17 points as the Bruins posted a 70-49 victory over Arizona State this past Thursday.
It was the 17th double-double of the season for Love, who leads the team with 17.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.
The Wildcats (17-11, 7-8) have struggled lately, losing five of their last seven - including a 70-58 setback against Southern California this past Thursday.
Jordan Hill had 18 points to lead Arizona, while leading scorer Jerryd Bayless was held to just eight. A freshman, Bayless leads the team in scoring at 20.6 per game.
