Scouting report for No. 8 Arizona's game against Utah at McKale Center, including players to watch, key subplots and more.
C Branden Carlson How they match upThe last time: The warm feelings Arizona brought home from its Maui Invitational title ended on Dec. 1 in Salt Lake City, where Utah won 81-66, beating the Wildcats for the fourth time in the past six meetings at the Huntsman Center. The Utes held the Wildcats to 35.2% shooting, including just 4 of 28 from 3-point range, while UA missed its first five shots and hit just 27.3% from the field in the first half.
What’s new with the UtesPicked to finish 10th in the Pac-12, the Utes have continued to surprise since their Dec. 1 win over the Wildcats. They won at Washington State three days later and have consistently beaten up on the Pac-12’s bottom seven teams. They are now in third place, a game behind Arizona, but have a difficult five games remaining in the regular season — at UA and ASU, then hosting UCLA and USC next week before finishing at Colorado on March 4.
Stefanovic, who started most of Pac-12 play last season before becoming a sixth man earlier this season, scored 26 points while hitting 6 of 14 3s in his first start in place of Madsen, against Stanford on Feb. 2. Since then, Stefanovic has had 15 points and six assists against Cal on Feb. 5 and nine points, four rebounds and four assists in Utah’s 73-62 win over Colorado on Feb. 11.
“And it's very common for opposing teams to practice in our facility, so that part isn't exactly new,” Smith said. “Obviously, it’s a who's-who this week with the best players in the world being here. So it'd be cool for our guys, but what great is exposure in every way.”Not only did Tommy Lloyd have to absorb the Wildcats’ 88-79 loss at Stanford as a coach on Saturday, but he also had to soak up NAU’s mind-blowing loss to Portland State earlier that day as a dad.
The highlight was shown on ESPN2’s halftime show during the UA-Stanford game and, for better or worse, Tommy Lloyd saw it, too.
