I must start with a shameless plug of my Bleacher Report article detailing the five primary reasons why the Arizona Wildcats should be concerned about Utah tomorrow.

Wait a minute … who was behind this? Larry Scott?

What East coast bias? Nick Johnson earns his second first-team All-American selection (U.S. Basketball Writers Association) after The Sporting News put him on its first team Monday. And why not over Kilpatrick? Johnson is the best player on one of the best teams all season.

Nick Johnson beats out Sean Kilpatrick on the USBWA All-American team. Interesting.

Utah has shown good ball movement and decisions with the ball all season ranking second in the Pac-12 in assists with 15.8 a game.

Jordan Loveridge easily could've taken Dakarai Tucker's shot. Instead he made his best play of the game – http://t.co/1EWkeIEfhd

Utah’s Delon Wright, who attended junior college because he was overlooked out of high school, is a handful in many facets of the game. Northern Arizona, not Arizona or ASU, recruited him out of Lawndale (Calif.) Leuzinger High School in 2010. Now there is talk that Wright might forego his senior season for the NBA.

Delon Wright 15 pts, 7 rebs, 4 assts, 3 stls, 2 blks and Utah d. UW 67-61 in Pac-12 opener. Utes (21-10) play No.1 seed Ariz Thurs at noon.

It will be a sea of red tomorrow at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with Utah and Arizona fans in the stands come high noon.

We enjoyed flying to Vegas from Tucson with a couple hundred of our fans! #WearRed #4BAshley

Arizona’s interim coaching staff in 2008-09 — Russ Pennell and Mike Dunlap — have landed collegiate head coaching gigs. They get a congratulations from former Arizona player Reggie Geary, who also coached at Arizona during Lute Olson’s retirement phase from 2007-09.

Congratulations to two friends and former colleagues Russ Pennell and Mike Dunlap for landing their dream jobs at Central Arkansas and LMU!
