SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah is preparing for one game at a time.
For the first time this season, Utah (21-7, 10-5) will face off against Arizona State (14-13, 4-10) at the Huntsman Center on Thursday night.
The Runnin' Utes are back in the AP poll at 22, and with three home games remaining in the regular season, they look to win their first Pac 12 basketball title. Utah is only half a game behind Arizona and Oregon for first place.
But don't let the Sun Devils' overall record fool you; Arizona State has lost five games by an average of five points or less.
