The University of Utah Runnin’ Utes (13-9, 4-6 Pac-12) are back home in the Jon M. Huntsman Center to take on the California Bears (10-12, 4-5 Pac-12).
California is currently eighth in Pac-12 play. Overall, the Runnin’ Utes are 16-15 against the Bears and have won the past two years versus Cal. Last year, Utah pulled out the win at 82-64, and the score was 77-43 the year before. Cal also travelled to Colorado this week. They lost to the No. 24 Buffs 71-65 on Thursday. Cal’s four wins in the Pac-12 come from beating Stanford, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State. Utah has faced and beat all of those four teams, so this game is set to be a great one for both teams.
This week in the Pac-12, No. 23 Arizona beat USC 85-80 and Arizona State beat UCLA 84-66. On Saturday, Stanford will face No. 24 Colorado, UCLA will play No. 23 Arizona, USC will travel to Arizona State and No. 14 Oregon will go against in-state rivals Oregon State. On Sunday, Washington will play Washington State.
