Watch Utah vs Arizona on ESPN+
Mark Ruelle writes: “The Wildcats have won seven of the last ten head-to-head meetings between the two schools and covered the number in three straight and five of the last six. That includes a six-point win at Utah this season in overtime, 105-99. Utah comes into this game in disarray after parting with head coach Craig Smith following their loss over the weekend. The Utes’ remaining coaching staff will be under pressure to get the team right with just four games left in the season and in a hostile environment in Arizona on Wednesday night. The Utes have gone just 4-6 ATS in their last ten games overall. The Wildcats are 7-3 overall in their last ten games, and that includes 7-3 ATS. Utah has also won just one time away from home this season. Arizona will respond after a poor effort against BYU at home over the weekend. Expect a one-sided win for the Wildcats, ranked fourth in the conference in scoring margin. Take Arizona.”
