UCLA seeks toughness going into 'bloodbath' against rival Arizona at Intuit Dome

As UCLA prepares for a challenging matchup against Arizona, the emphasis on toughness by coach Mick Cronin is crucial. The recent game where No. 15 UCLA faced No. 5 Arizona highlighted the competitive nature of this rivalry, with Arizona narrowly escaping a loss despite a rough performance from freshman Koa Peat. Jaden Bradley's late-game heroics secured a comeback victory for Arizona, underscoring the importance of mental and physical resilience in high-stakes games. This context reinforces Cronin's call for his players to be ready for a 'bloodbath'.
