What to Know

The #2 Arizona Wildcats have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Wildcats and the Utah Utes will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 11 p.m. ET Thursday at Jon M. Huntsman Center. These two teams are tiptoeing into their contest after sneaking past their previous opponents.

Things were close when Arizona and the Oregon Ducks clashed on Saturday, but Arizona ultimately edged out the opposition 84-81. The overall outcome was to be expected, but Oregon made it more of a matchup than the oddsmakers had predicted. Arizona’s guard Bennedict Mathurin did his thing and had 24 points and five assists along with seven rebounds.

Speaking of close games: on Saturday Utah sidestepped the California Golden Bears for a 60-58 win. The top scorer for the Utes was guard Marco Anthony (13 points).

This next game looks promising for the Wildcats, who are favored by a full 10.5 points. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it’s been tough sledding overall. They are 6-2-1 ATS in away games but only 14-10-2 all in all.

The wins brought Arizona up to 24-2 and Utah to 11-16. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Arizona ranks third in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 84.8 on average. Less enviably, Utah has only been able to knock down 41.50% percent of their shots, which is the 42nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against the Utes.
