The No. 4 UCLA men's basketball team defeated No. 8 Arizona 82-73 on Senior Night, finishing the season unbeaten at home for the first time since the 2006-07 season. But Jaylen Clark left with what appeared to be a serious injury.
It was going to be excruciating for UCLA’s coach to bid farewell to his seniors in their final home game. There was no way to guard against the spontaneous emotions unleashed by the group that had revived the Bruins, taking them to one Final Four while making them a national championship contender once again this season.David Singleton buried one three-pointer after another.
Singleton scored 17 points and made five of nine three-pointers. Campbell tallied 21 points, five rebounds and four assists. And in a performance that might have clinched the Pac-12 Conference player of the year award, Jaquez logged 22 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals. The crowd was in a celebratory mood after UCLA rolled off the first eight points of the second half to surge into a 48-37 lead, but there was a significant caveat. Clark had to be helped to the locker room after coming up with a steal in the backcourt that he followed with a layup before limping awkwardly toward the bench.
