No. 13 Utah Loses To No. 7 Arizona For 12th Straight Time

[...] they didn't score again and the seventh-ranked Wildcats took advantage of some critical errors to clinch at least a share of the Pac-12 championship with a 63-57 win over Utah on Saturday night. Gabe York drew Jakob Poeltl's fifth foul and made one free throw and then made a key follow shot to give the Wildcats a 58-57 lead with 1:39 to play. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who had 10 points, made 3 of 4 free throws in the final minute and York hit two more to clinch the Wildcats' 12th straight win over Utah (22-6, 12-4). After dominating Utah 69-51 earlier in the season thanks to a big rebounding advantage, the Wildcats again bullied the Utes on the boards, 44-35, to overcome 33-percent shooting. Taylor, Utah's second-leading scorer, got his first points of the game on a 3-pointer to put the Utes up 47-41, with 8:11 remaining and the sellout crowd was roaring. The Wildcats missed their first 10 field goal attempts of the second half before Johnson stole the ball and made a layup. The buzz for a college basketball game in Salt Lake City hadn't been this intense since the 1996 New Year's Eve matchup between No.
