Arizona Wildcats fell 84-75 to UCLA Bruins in their season opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Monday. Forward Ivan Kharchenkov led the Wildcats with 38 points and 10 rebounds, but the supporting cast struggled to contribute.
The loss highlighted potential flaws in Arizona's depth as they begin the 2026-27 campaign. Kharchenkov's strong performance was not enough to overcome UCLA's balanced attack.
