In the few times Arizona scored under 60 points under head coach Tommy Lloyd, the Wildcats lost.
The 11th-ranked Wildcats scored under 60 on Saturday at McKale Center — and won, knocking off No. 5 UCLA 58-52. Arizona has now beaten the Bruins three straight times for the first time since 2009-10.
Here's what Lloyd had to say following the game:
