After breaking Utah’s perfect home record on Thursday, the Arizona Wildcats head to Boulder on Saturday hoping to spoil the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team’s 13-0 start at home.
While the Wildcats (18-5, 9-3 Pac-12) were battling the Utes in a triple-overtime affair, the Buffs (16-7, 7-5) handily beat Arizona State thanks to a hot start. The win broke a two-game losing streak and boosted the confidence of the Buffs, although head coach Tad Boyle made it clear that their undefeated record at the CU Events Center this season means nothing.
Arizona, the eighth-ranked team in the latest USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, beat the Buffs by 47 points in their previous matchup on Jan. 4. The Wildcats are also on a four-game winning streak.
Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. MT on ESPN.
