In a war of attrition, the Arizona Wildcats wore down the visiting Utah Utes to come away with a workmanlike 66-56 victory in front of the McKale faithful. The Cats will look to do more of the same as they their host Pac-12 South rivals, the Colorado Buffaloes.
The Buffs have stumbled into conference play, dropping their opener at Salt Lake City to the Utes by a score of 76-60. Last night, they dropped a hard-fought game in Tempe to the Arizona State Sun Devils by a score of 78-77 as ASU’s Tra Holder sunk two late free throws to seal the win for the Sun Devils.
