Bruce Pascoe Arizona Daily Star SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- On their way out of the NCAA Tournament, the Arizona Wildcats dished a final assist to a surprise recipient. Several UCLA players said Thursday night that they took the news of Arizona's 59-55 loss to 15th-seeded Princeton earlier in the day as another reminder to take their own 15th-seeded opponent seriously. The Bruins then blew out UNC Asheville 86-53 in Thursday's last game at the Golden 1 Center, moving to to a West Region second-round game against Northwestern.
