Utah defeats Arizona by 1 point, 80-79, in the most exciting game of the year.
Utah was ahead 78-75 with 11 seconds left, but allowed Arizona to score two quick baskets after they could not inbound the ball.
With Arizona ahead 79-78, and 1.3 seconds left, Utah got to to Pili who was fouled, and sank both free throws for the win.
Three of the Arizona starters and 1 of the Utah starters fouled out. It seems the Arizona pressure defense does not work so well when the refs call it close.
Arizona drops both games on the mountain trip. We get to make that trip on the last weekend of regular Pac 12 play.
Meanwhile Cal is giving UCLA a game...leading deep in the third quarter.
