Arizona Puts Perfect Record on Line at BYU PROVO, Utah (Interstat) — The nation’s last unbeaten team faces one of its most hostile road tests Monday as the top-ranked Arizona Wildcats visit the BYU Cougars in a pivotal Big 12 clash. Arizona (20-0, 7-0 Big 12) arrives at the Marriott Center having dominated its conference slate, winning by an average margin of 19.3 points. The Wildcats are coming off an 88-53 rout of West Virginia on Saturday, their 12th victory this season by 20 or more points. BYU (16-2, 5-1), however, presents a formidable challenge. The Cougars are 10-0 at home this season and feature one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, averaging 89.2 points per game. They are fueled by freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa, who is fresh off a career-high 43-point performance in Saturday’s 91-78 win over Utah. The matchup pits Arizona’s balanced and relentless attack against BYU’s high-octane, perimeter-oriented system. Wildcats guard Brayden Burries, a consistent force, is averaging 16.1 points and 4.6 assists in conference play. He will be central to handling BYU’s pressure and pace. Inside, Arizona holds a significant size advantage with 7-foot-2 center Motiejus Krivas and forward Koa Peat. Containing Dybantsa and sharpshooting guard Robert Wright, who scored 21 against Utah, will be paramount for the Wildcats’ defense. For BYU, disrupting Arizona’s rhythm and defending without fouling are essential. The Wildcats lead the nation in free throws made and attempted. The Cougars must also find answers inside against Arizona’s frontcourt to spring the upset. This marks the first meeting between the programs as Big 12 foes. A win would solidify Arizona’s hold on the conference lead and its ranking, while a BYU victory would announce the Cougars as legitimate national contenders and throw the league race wide open. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. MST Monday. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
