The #8 Utes and #10 Wildcats continue their PAC-12 rivalry, that has been dominated by the Wildcats. Arizona has won 31 consecutive games at home and 10 straight against Utah heading into their matchup on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Utah will look to knock off Arizona for the first time since 1998 when they meet in Tucson on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Utah<\/h3>\n

Winners of 7 in a row, the #8 Utah Utes look to continue their undefeated record in conference play when they head into Tucson on Saturday. Utah has started Pac-12 play with a 4-0 record, including victories over UCLA and Colorado. The Utes only losses of the season have come against quality opponents. Utah fell to #16 San Diego State and #10 Kansas.<\/p>\n

Utah has had no problem thus far handling conference play. Winning their first 4 games by an average of 24.5 points a game, Utah will look to put an end to their horrible losing streak against Arizona, while taking control of the Pac-12.<\/p>\n

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n

Leading the way for Utah is their duo of 7 footers,\u00a0Jakob Poeltl and Dallin Bachynski. Poeltl is averaging 9.3 points to go along with 8.2 rebounds a game. Poeltl has yet to proven he can be a go to guy as far as scoring is concerned as he’s scoring in single digits in a majority of Utah’s games.<\/p>\n

Bachynski is in the same boar as Poeltl. Averaging just 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds a game, the 7 foot Senior hasn’t shown the dominance and aggressiveness to take over a game. The Utes are hoping the two can become dominant forces down low as conference play goes on.<\/p>\n

On the road this season in true road games, Utah is 4-0-1 ATS.<\/p>\n

Arizona<\/h3>\n

After stumbling on the road to unranked Oregon State, the Wildcats got back on track in their 68-54 victory over Colorado. The Wildcats overlooked the Beavers and ultimately stumbled late to hit any shots in the loss. Perhaps taking a bit of anger out on the Buffalos, Arizona dominated Colorado in almost every aspect of the game in their victory.<\/p>\n

Looking to their big matchup with Utah, the Wildcats will need their two younger scorers to step up and lead the way.<\/p>\n

Freshman F Stanley Johnson leads the Wildcats in scoring this year with 14.4 points a game. Johnson rebounded from a poor 7 point performance against Oregon State with a 22 point outburst against Colorado.<\/p>\n

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n

Sophomore F\u00a0Rondae Hollis-Jefferson typically is a major contributor along with Johnson on a nightly basis. Hollis-Jefferson is scoring 11.1 points per game, but will look to avenge his disappointing 0-3 performance against Colorado.<\/p>\n

If the Wildcats can get contributions from their two young stars, along with their upperclassmen, the Utes could be in for a long day.<\/p>\n
