No. 22 UCLA defeated No. 5 Arizona 84-75 on November 3, 2026, handing the higher-ranked Wildcats a home loss. Arizona's Ivan Kharchenkov poured in a game-high 38 points, but his effort was not enough to overcome the Bruins' balanced attack.
The victory marks a significant early-season statement for UCLA, who entered the contest as underdogs against a top-five opponent. Kharchenkov's scoring outburst kept Arizona within striking distance throughout, but UCLA's defense clamped down in the final minutes to secure the win.
