UCLA vs. Arizona Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 24 UCLA Bruins have established themselves as arguably the best defensive team in Division I Men's Basketball, and they face an unranked Arizona Wildcats team that, as they enter this game at 4-4, is still searching for an identity.

UCLA suffered a loss to New Mexico in their second game of the season, but they have since rattled off seven straight wins with the most recent one being an away victory over then-No. 12 Oregon.

Arizona still has yet to beat a major-conference opponent this season. Head coach Tommy Lloyd's Wildcats are 0-4 against such opposition, having lost to Wisconsin, then-No. 12 Duke, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
