The Arizona Wildcats lost for just the second time this season, as they went to Pauley Pavillon on the first leg of their track through LA, and lost a tough one to the Bruins by three points. That is going to have this team galvanized and focused, as they have not lost two in a row since the 2009 season. They have now won nine straight times when following a loss, and with a small number a win should get it done. USC is a much improved team, and under ordinary circumstances they may have the emotional edge here. That won't be the case, as Arizona is coming off a tough off a loss, will be focused, and not caught off guard here. Arizona has the talent edge as well, so look for the Wildcats to get back on track with a tough, but covering win. Play on Arizona.
