The rivalry dates from the first games in 1923, but the true intensity of the series would not occur until the addition of Arizona to the Pac-10 in 1978. Since becoming conference foes, the game is played typically twice per season. The Wildcats and Bruins have faced off 10 times in conference tournament games.
Before the arrival of Lute Olson at Arizona, the Bruins had won 21 of 24 games against the Wildcats. UCLA had been seen as the dominant college basketball program in the west, with few teams able to challenge UCLA for the throne beyond a few wins. The rivalry did not gather steam until Lute Olson's arrival in 1984, who compiled a 28–23 record against the Bruins during his tenure as Arizona's head coach.
Since then, the two schools competed for the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) Championship every year, with the two teams winning 23 out of the 31 conference titles, and 9 of 18 conference tournament titles. Arizona clinched their first conference title in 1986, when they won on the road at UCLA in Olson's third season.{{cite news|last=Rivera |first=Steve |title=Arizona-UCLA rivalry still burning hot as Pac-12 clubs set to face off |date=February 20, 2015 |work=FoxSports.com |url=http://www.foxsports.com/arizona/story/arizona-wildcats-ucla-bruins-basketball-pac-12-rivalry-022015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223132252/http://www.foxsports.com/arizona/story/arizona-wildcats-ucla-bruins-basketball-pac-12-rivalry-022015 |archive-date=February 23, 2015 |url-status=live }}{{cite news|last=Dodds |first=Tracy |title=Arizona Climbs Over the Top at Pauley Pavilion : Wildcats Beat UCLA, 88–76, to Clinch a Share of Pacific 10 Championship |date=March 4, 1986 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-03-04-sp-15137-story.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223092434/http://articles.latimes.com/1986-03-04/sports/sp-15137_1_pauley-pavilion |archive-date=February 23, 2015 |url-status=live }} The UCLA-Arizona basketball rivalry is still seen as the match up of the two premier teams in the conference.{{cite news|last=Yoon |first=Peter |title=As usual, UCLA-Arizona is 'must-win' game |date=January 23, 2013 |work=ESPN.com |url=https://www.espn.com/blog/los-angeles/ucla/post/_/id/13171/as-usual-ucla-arizona-is-must-win-game |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407070358/http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/ucla/post/_/id/13171/as-usual-ucla-arizona-is-must-win-game |archive-date=April 7, 2014 |url-status=live }} Also, the performance of the two schools influences the national opinion of the conference. Mike Montgomery, former head coach at both Cal and Stanford has stated, "...If those two are not good, the conference is not perceived as being good. People don't give credit to the schools across the board in the league."
After the end of the 2023−24 season, Arizona moved to the Big 12 Conference and UCLA moved to the Big Ten Conference, there was speculation if the rivalry would continue. The two teams agree to a three game series in neutral site locations. The 2024 game will be played at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, the 2025 game will be played at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and the 2027 game will be played at a location TBD in Los Angeles.{{cite web |title=Arizona, UCLA Agree To Multi-Year Series Starting in 2024 |url=https://arizonawildcats.com/news/2024/8/13/mens-basketball-arizona-ucla-agree-to-mult-year-series-starting-in-2024.aspx}}
