If there was ever a time to beat Arizona, it’s right now. The ‘Cats were in the midst of a five game losing streak going into this game, while dealing some injury issues, and distractions around the program. It wasn’t always pretty for the Utes, but they ended beating Arizona for the second time since joining the Pac-12 by a score of 83-76. The Utes were led by scorching hot Parker Van Dyke and his 23 points, 15 of which were in the first half, as well as Jayce Johnson, who had 17 points of his own.
It was pretty ugly on offense for both teams in the first half.
