Utah Utes team news & key performers
Utah's success this season has largely been fueled by their high-powered offense, which averages 77.6 points per game while outscoring opponents by 15.5 points per outing. Their fluid ball movement has been instrumental, dishing out 17.7 assists per contest, leading to an efficient 45.0% shooting clip from the field. A key contributor in recent weeks has been forward Maye Toure, who has put up 13.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game over her last ten appearances. The Utes' well-rounded attack and dominance on the glass have made them a force to be reckoned with in the Big 12.
Arizona Wildcats team news & key performers
On the other side, Arizona heads into the matchup riding a wave of momentum after an emphatic victory over No. 16 West Virginia, where they flexed their defensive muscles and showcased a well-balanced scoring attack. The Wildcats suffocated the Mountaineers from long range, limiting them to just 8.3% shooting from beyond the arc, while their relentless pressure forced 24 turnovers, leading to 19 points off takeaways.
Leading the charge in that win was Breya Cunningham, who delivered a dominant performance with 18 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks. Meanwhile, Paulina Paris and Skylar Jones each chipped in with 16 points, while Jada Williams, a model of consistency for Arizona, added 13 points, six rebounds, and four assists.
The Wildcats enter this contest averaging 69.6 points per game, outscoring their opponents by 8.0 points per outing. Their ability to disrupt opposing offenses has been a major strength, as they tally 9.6 steals per game. However, they will be put to the test against a Utah squad that thrives on efficiency and ball movement. Cunningham and Williams will need to be at their best to counter Utah’s high-octane offense and keep Arizona within striking distance.
