Thursday night’s game was the conference home opener for Arizona. After sweeping the Bay Area, the team was excited to be back in front of the home crowd again.
Following their 10-point win over the Utes, the Wildcats are now 3-0 in conference play, tied for first. Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak is now 1-10 all time against the Wildcats.
Dusan Ristic finished with 18 points and eight rebounds to lead all scorers, but it was Parker Jackson-Cartwright who stepped up big to lead Arizona to the 66-56 win.
Just like he did against Cal and Stanford, PJC came in off the bench.
