COL BKB: UCLA 68, Arizona 66

TUCSON, March 2 (UPI) -- Kevin Love scored 24 points Sunday -- seven in the closing minutes -- powering No. 4 UCLA over Arizona 68-66.

UCLA was unable to build a comfortable lead down the stretch, but Love's string of points, followed by Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's dunk with 2:29 to go, helped keep the Bruins in front.

Darren Collison added 16 points for UCLA (26-3, 14-2 Pac-10), which has won five straight games.

Chase Budinger was the top scorer for the Wildcats (17-12, 7-9).

Arizona has dropped six of eight and risks missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 23 years.
