The game of the college basketball weekend is set for Saturday afternoon when the #5 UCLA Bruins (17-2, 8-0 in Pac-12) visit the #11 Arizona Wildcats (16-3, 5-3). It may not look that way on the standings, due to some confusing Arizona loses, but these are two of the best teams in the conference and this should be a fun one. Below is my college basketball pick for UCLA vs Arizona.

UCLA Bruins
Last time out, UCLA visited the Arizona State Sun Devils and needed big last few minutes to earn a 74-62 win.

Arizona State had the game tied with under five minutes to go, but the Bruins held them to zero points for the final 3:36 to get the double-digit win. UCLA led by as many as 13 points, never trailed by more than six, and covered the -5.0-point spread.
