• Saturday's meeting between the Wildcats and Bruins will mark the first time the two teams have met while both being ranked in the top 15 nationally since the 2006-07 season. No. 3 UCLA defeated No. 11 Arizona 73-69 in Los Angeles on Jan. 20, 2007.
• UA enters Saturday afternoon on the heels of a 73-66 win at USC. The Wildcats' defense held the Trojans to just 19 points in the first half and helped the Arizona lead grow to as many as 23 points early in the second half. Lauri Markkanen had a game-high 23 points while connecting on five of his six attempts from beyond the arc (8 of 12 for the game from the field). Dusan Ristic grabbed 12 rebounds in the win, which was the second-highest rebounding game of his career.
• Ten of the last 12 games between Arizona and UCLA have been decided by single digits with five of those ten meetings being decided by four or fewer points.
• With 23 points in 35 minutes of action versus USC, Lauri Markkanen has now scored 75 points in 87 minutes in his last three games.
• The Wildcats' 6-0 start in Pac-12 play marks the program's third-best start to conference action since 2000. The 2002-03 and 2013-14 Wildcats both won their first eight conference games in their respective seasons. This season marks just the sixth time UA has won its first six league games since joining the Pac-12 prior to the 1978-79 season.
• Thursday's victory over USC in the Galen Center advanced UA's record to 3-4, which leaves the program's 2-4 record at Pauley Pavilion as the lowest winning percentage of any away destination in the Pac-12 in the Sean Miller era (2009 to present).
• In addition to winning its last 11 consecutive games, Arizona has done so in dominating fashion. The Wildcats have led for at least 37 minutes in seven of those 11 victories. UA has led for 385:02 of the game action in those 11 wins while trailing 43:22 and being tied for 11:36. Arizona has led for approximately 87.5 percent of the 440 minutes of play during the win streak.
