Utah Basketball: Runnin' Utes Beat the Arizona Wildcats, finally, 70-64

It has been a long time coming, and I mean a LONG time, but Utah finally got the No. 9 ranked Arizona Wildcats off of their backs Saturday afternoon with a big 70-64 win. In fact, it's been since the Elite 8 in 1998 since the Utes last beat Arizona. Utah was led by senior guard Brandon Taylor's 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting, 4-of-5 from three, including the game clincher with a minute remaining, 5 steals and 3 rebounds in 38 minutes. Jakob Poeltl was the primary focus of Arizona's defense, but he still came away with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, 3 blocks and 10 rebounds.
