No. 22 UCLA defeated No. 5 Arizona 84-75 on Tuesday night in a college basketball matchup that saw Arizona's Ivan Kharchenkov score a game-high 38 points in a losing effort.

The Bruins, ranked 22nd in the nation, handed the fifth-ranked Wildcats a home-court loss despite Kharchenkov's career-night performance. UCLA's balanced attack overcame the individual brilliance of the Arizona guard, who nearly single-handedly kept his team in contention.

The victory marks a significant early-season statement for UCLA, while Arizona will look to regroup after seeing their high-ranking status tested. The game was played on November 3, 2026.
