Head to Head
Teams Last 10
Arizona Wildcats
Last time out, Arizona hosted Arizona State and lost 89-88 on a half-court heave. This was a fun game throughout, but the best moment of the game was Desmond Cambridge Jr. hitting a running half court buzzer beater to secure the massive road win for the Sun Devils.

Cedric Henderson Jr. had 19 points, one rebound, one assist, and three steals on the day. Azuolas Tubelis added 17 points, nine rebounds, and two assists off the bench.

USC Trojans
USC visited the Utah Utes and comfortably won 62-49. The Trojans jumped out to an early lead and led by six points at the half.
