img9:00 PM Eastern

The BYU Cougars are heading to Arizona for a big showdown with the Wildcats. Arizona has gone from a perfect 23-0 team to one that has struggled over its last two games, resulting in consecutive losses. They are still ranked #4 in the country. BYU gave the Wildcats fits in their first meeting this season a 3 point win by the Wildcats. Arizona shot 50% in seven of eight games before the pair of losses, but shot 44% and 39% in the losses. BYU is ranked 23rd in the country and has a lot of talent at 19-6. BYU is coming back from four straight losses and has now won two straight games. This game is closer than it looks. Take the points and ride with BYU.
