LAST TIME OUT
Utah picked up an 80-77 overtime road win over No. 21-ranked Arizona State on Thursday. Sedrick Barefield led the Utes scoring 17 points off the bench, which included hitting a three-pointer to tie the game and send the contest into overtime.
Â
Utah went 4-for-4 from the field in the overtime period, while limiting the Sun Devils to just a 3-of-10 effort in the final five minutes.
Â
SCOUTING ARIZONA
Since losing three straight games very early in the season, Arizona has rattled off 13 wins in its last 14 games played. The Wildcats' only Pac-12 loss came to the hands of the Colorado Buffaloes on the road. The Wildcats are a perfect 10-0 when playing inside the McKale Center, which includes a 3-0 mark against Pac-12 opponents. Arizona has won 17 of its last 18 home games against Pac-12 foes, with its only loss in that span coming to UCLA back on Feb. 25, 2017.
Â
The Wildcats have two players averaging more than 19 points per game, led by Allonzo Trier's 19.8 points per game average. Deandre Ayton follows with 19.7 points per game and he also leads the team with 11.1 rebounds per game. Parker Jackson-Cartwright has dished out a team-leading 100 assists and has collected a team-high 32 steals on the season. Ayton leads all UA players with 35 blocked shots.
Â
Arizona shoots a league-best .503 from the field, which also ranks No. 12 overall in the country. The Wildcats are shooting .382 from three-point range and lead the Pac-12 with a .774 free throw shooting percentage. They pull down 36.5 rebounds per game and give up just 30.2 rebounds to opposing teams, which gives them a league-best 6.4 rebounding margin.
Â
SERIES HISTORY WITH THE WILDCATS
Arizona now leads the all-time series 32-29 following its 94-82 win over the Utes back on Jan. 4 at the Huntsman Center. The Wildcats are 18-8 all-time when facing the Utes in Tucson, which includes a current seven-game winning streak that dates back to 1992. Utah's last win over Arizona in Tucson came back on Dec. 6, 1986.
