Leif Thulin, host of Locked On Wildcats and college basketball analyst, breaks down the Arizona Wildcats versus UCLA Bruins matchup with freshman star Koa Peat positioned as the game's X-factor. The five-star talent faces Mick Cronin's defensive schemes in what promises to be a tempo battle between Arizona's speed against UCLA's slow pace.

The analysis examines the point guard duel between Jaden Bradley and Donovan Dent, Arizona's paint dominance strategy targeting 45+ points inside, and how Tommy Lloyd's eight-man rotation creates offensive depth that UCLA's slender front court struggles to match. Thulin sets specific benchmarks for Arizona's success: controlling pace, establishing a 20-point advantage in combined paint points and free throws, and staying within three made threes of UCLA despite lower volume. The episode includes detailed projections for Koa Peat's 22-point performance, Bradley's defensive assignment against Dent's penetration, and how role players like Tobe Awaka and Mo Krivas impact the rebounding battle.
