Home teams have won 14 of the first 18 Pac-10 games, and if UCLA is going to stay near the top of the standings it knows holding serve at Pauley Pavilion this weekend against the Arizona schools is crucial. The Bruins go into tonight’s game with Kris Johnson’s right ankle a question mark but, on Wednesday, interim Coach Steve Lavin said Johnson “had the look in his eyes like he’s going to play.†That probably means Jelani McCoy will spend one more game as a backup. Bill Frieder is winless in 15 games against UCLA during his Arizona State coaching tenure.
