On Thursday night, the Arizona Wildcats have their first home game of the Pac-12 season, as the Utah Utes travel to McKale Center.
The Utes are searching for their first victory in McKale Center since joining the Pac-12 in the 2011-2012 season. In fact, Utah’s last win in Tucson came way back in December of 1986. A very long time ago.
The last time these teams met, Utah ended Arizona’s reign of terror over them, beating them 70-64 in Salt Lake City, ending the Wildcats’ 12-game win streak over the Utes.
But that was then and this is now and the Wildcats are coming off of their best offensive performance of the season, a 39-point thrashing of Stanford.
