It’s a throwback matchup for a pair of former Pac-10 rivals as Arizona and UCLA battle at 10 p.m. ET in the nightcap of a men’s basketball tripleheader Friday night on Peacock.
At 8 p.m. ET on Peacock, No. 23 Creighton will be playing host to University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Omaha, Nebraska.
USC will face Illinois State at 7 p.m. ET in the opener of the Naismith Hall of Fame Series at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
No. 5 Arizona (3-0) and No. 15 UCLA (3-0) also will be playing at the Intuit Dome in the 115th meeting between the schools. UCLA has a 64-50 edge in the series and beat Arizona 57-54 in their most recent matchup on Dec. 14, 2024. The last time they met as ranked teams was twice in March 2023, which resulted in a split.

No. 5 Arizona:
Buoyed by a 93-87 win over defending national champion Florida in the Nov. 3 season opener (led by 30 points from highly touted freshman Koa Peat), the Wildcats are off to a fast start in their fifth season under coach Tommy Lloyd. Arizona has made three Sweet Sixteen appearances in the NCAA Tournament during the past four seasons.
In an 84-49 win over Northern Arizona, freshman guard Dwayne Aristode led Arizona with a career-high 18 points. Peat (10 points), Jaden Bradley (13), and Motiejus Krivas (12) also scored in double figures for the Wildcats.
It’s a young but deep Arizona roster, which totaled 40 points from eight bench players in its latest victory. The Wildcats have the country’s second-ranked recruiting class, which includes LeBron James’ son, Bryce. Starting guard Brayden Burries is the seventh-highest-rated prospect in Arizona program history.
No. 15 UCLA:
The Bruins, who have a veteran nucleus burnished by some key transfers, have opened the season with three home victories, including Monday’s 83-62 win over West Georgia. UCLA, which has been picked to finish third in the Big Ten behind Purdue and Michigan, always is known for its trademark defense under coach Mick Cronin. The Bruins allowed the fewest points per game (65.2) in the Big Ten last year.
Tyler Bilodeau, who paced the Bruins in scoring last season, led the way against West Georgia with 21 points for UCLA, which also got significant contributions from first-time starter Trent Perry (17 points, nine asissts), Eric Dailey Jr. (14) and Jamar Brown (10).
Cronin, who is in his seventh season at UCLA, said the message to his team against Arizona was “to do hard things and play at a high level. ... If you want to be successful in life, you’ve got to be ready to do hard things. ... (If) you want to beat Arizona, you better be better than them. That’s No. 1. No. 2, you’d better be able to do some hard things because they bring the fight. That’s why it’s great to play them. They always bring the fight.”
