Dell'Orso scores 20 off the bench as No. 5 Arizona beats No. 15 UCLA 69-65 in Hall of Fame Series

AP Sports Writer

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) Anthony Dell'Orso scored 20 points off the bench and Jaden Bradley hit the go-ahead 3-pointer to help No. 5 Arizona rally for a 69-65 victory over 15th-ranked UCLA on Friday night in the Hall of Fame Series at Intuit Dome.

Arizona improves to 23-13 against Top 25 opponents under head coach Tommy Lloyd, the second-best winning percentage in the country over that span. 

The last Wildcat to score 20 points off the bench was KJ Lewis against Arizona State on March 4, 2025, when he finished with 21. 

There were dueling chants of "UCLA" and "U of A" from the crowd that created a postseason atmosphere to match the high level of play in the NBA arena.

Dell'Orso had 13 points in the first half, when he made three 3-pointers. He was limited to a pair of free throws in the second half until hitting a 3 that put Arizona ahead 60-59. Dell'Orso then sank two free throws with 17 seconds left to give the Wildcats a four-point lead.

Tyler Bilodeau scored 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor for the Bruins (3-1). Eric Dailey Jr. added 13 points and Donovan Dent had 11 points and eight assists.

The Bruins opened an eight-point lead behind Bilodeau, the big man who has been playing on the perimeter more this season. His 3-pointer gave UCLA a 57-49 advantage.

Arizona then went on an 11-2 run, capped by Dell'Orso's 3.

Bradley scored inside, hit a 3-pointer and drove inside again to extend Arizona's lead to 67-63. He finished with 15 points and 13 of those came in the second half to keep the pressure on UCLA down the stretch.
