Tonight, the UCLA women’s basketball team hosts the Arizona Wildcats for the first time since the Pac-12 breakup. Tip-off is set for 7:30 pm PT and the game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
Unlike men’s basketball, Arizona and UCLA can’t really be called rivals in women’s basketball. That’s because the Bruins have won 66 of their 91 meetings with the Wildcats. That’s a 72.5% winning percentage.
Considering the Bruins are ranked 10th in the AP Top 25 Poll and 12th in the USA Today Coaches Poll and Arizona isn’t ranked, UCLA should win this game relatively easily.
Let’s look at the Wildcats.
Arizona Wildcats’ Starting Five
Arizona head coach Becky Burke will probably start a lineup consisting of four guards and a forward. The Wildcats are led by senior guard Sumayah Sugapong. Sugapong is averaging 11.5 ppg, which is best among the starters. She also leads the team in steals with seven. Sugapong’s ten three-point attempts is more than the next two Wildcats combined. She has made three of those ten shots. Freshman guard Jasleen Green is second among the starters with an average of 11.0 ppg.
Sophomore guard Aliyahna "Puff" Morris ranks third among the starters in scoring with an average of 9.5 ppg. She currently leads the Wildcats in assists with seven. Freshman Makayla Presser-Palmer will be Arizona’s fourth starting guard. She is averaging 8.0 ppg and she leads the starters with an average of 4.5 rebounds per game.
The Wildcats’ final starter will be senior forward Gerda Raulusaityte. Raulusaityte transferred to Arizona this season after playing at Southern Cal last year. She is averaging just 6.0 ppg.
The first woman off the bench for Arizona will be sophomore forward Breanna Williams. Williams actually is leading the Wildcats in scoring with an average of 17.5 ppg. She also leads the team in rebounds, too, with an average of 8.0 rpg. Arynn Finley and Molly Ladwig will also see plenty of playing time.
Analysis
UCLA has definitely reloaded after winning the national championship last season. Tonight’s game will certainly be tougher than last week’s game against UC Irvine
But after watching UCLA defeat the Anteaters last week, I think the Bruins should win this one pretty easily too.
