| |  | ARIZONA: The Wildcats were defeated in the Elite Eight last season, falling to Wisconsin by one point. While they lost two players to the NBA (Aaron Gordon and Nick Johnson), Arizona is once again a legitimate national title contender. The biggest reason for the optimism is freshman F Stanley Johnson. The 6-foot-7 lefty is as difficult of a matchup as there is in college basketball. He has the speed and athleticism to beat opponents off the bounce, but at 245 pounds he can take smaller players on the block. He has a chance to become the leading scorer on this team from day one. Arizona last season suffered a huge injury when SF Brandon Ashley (11.5 PPG, 5.8 RPG) was lost for the year. The team was undefeated when it lost to California, 60-58. Ashley was injured two minutes into that game, and took away one of Arizona's best scoring threats in the half-court game. With PF Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (9.1 PPG, 5.7 RPG) and C Kaleb Tarczewski (9.9 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 59% FG), the Wildcats have two guys that are going to make the Wildcats one of the best rebounding teams in the country. The leader of this offense will be senior PG T.J. McConnell (8.4 PPG, 5.3 APG, 3.6 RPG), who needs to improve his foul shooting (62% FT). If Arizona can improve in its half-court offense, the school could be playing in Indianapolis at the end of the season. | | COLORADO: Tad Boyle has done a terrific job of taking the Buffaloes' program to another level in the Pac-12. The team lost Spence Dinwiddie to the NBA, but still brings back a lot of talent from a team that made the NCAA Tournament. C Josh Scott (14.1 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 1.1 BPG) is a highly-skilled post player who can score over both shoulders. He is not an elite athlete, but he knows how to play the game of basketball. Scott is also a solid passer from the block, kicking it out to teammates like PG Askia Booker (13.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 3.3 APG) and SG Xavier Johnson (12.0 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 36% threes). Booker is at his best when scoring off the bounce, while Johnson is better at finding the open spot on the perimeter. The Buffaloes are a deep and experienced team, but they will have to shoot better from behind the three-point arc (32% threes). |

*Arizona-Colorado Preview* ==========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Arizona (24-3) at Colorado (12-14), 9:00 p.m. EDT
With Arizona's biggest remaining challenge of the regular season looming, one might expect the Wildcats to look past struggling Colorado.
Sean Miller insists that won't be the case, however.
No. 7 Arizona visits the Buffaloes on Thursday night ahead of its weekend showdown with 13th-ranked Utah.
The Wildcats (24-3, 12-2 Pac-12) are one game ahead of the second-place Utes, whom they defeated 69-51 on Jan. 17. Saturday's matchup in Salt Lake City will be pivotal in Arizona's quest for a second straight league title.
"Our players respect (Colorado's) players, we respect their team," Miller said. " ... That, coupled with playing at Colorado is a tough environment. I think that that game has our undivided attention and it's really not even anything we've had to talk about."
Miller's group also shouldn't need a wake-up call given its last performance. The Wildcats shot 34.0 percent in Saturday's 57-47 win over UCLA, their worst in a victory since hitting 32.8 percent versus Stanford in 2010.
Stanley Johnson and Brandon Ashley, who lead Arizona with 14.2 and 11.3 points per game, respectively, combined for 12 on 3-of-19 shooting. Reserves Gabe York and Dusan Ristic helped rescue the offense with 25 points.
The Wildcats' bench ranks third in the Pac-12 with 21.2 points per game.
"We won tonight because we had several players who didn't start the game come in and contribute in massive ways," Miller said.
Arizona also relied on another dominant rebounding performance, recording 16 second-chance points on 14 offensive boards. Meanwhile, the Wildcats, limited UCLA to one offensive rebound after the Bruins came in averaging a league-best 12.8 in league play.
Arizona's plus-10.2 rebounding margin average in conference play is tied with Quinnipiac as the best nationally.
The Wildcats claimed a 41-26 rebounding advantage in a 68-54 home win on Jan. 15. Johnson scored a season-high 22 while Colorado's Askia Booker scored 30 and hit six 3-pointers.
The Buffaloes (12-14, 5-9) have averaged a plus-5.4 rebounding margin since then but are shooting 34.4 percent while dropping five of six, which doesn't bode well against an Arizona team that held its last four opponents to 36.6 percent shooting.
Colorado committed a season-high 22 turnovers and shot 34.6 percent in Saturday's 72-58 loss at Oregon. Booker, the conference's fifth-leading scorer, was limited to nine points on 2-for-14 shooting.
Barring a run to the Pac-12 tournament title, the Buffaloes will miss out on the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011.
"I believe in this team as much today as I did at beginning of the season \2013 I really, truly do. I know what we're capable of. Now, am I disappointed in where we are today? Absolutely," coach Tad Boyle told the team's official website. "But that doesn't mean I've lost my belief ... for this year or for next year or for the players in the program."
Colorado has lost its three matchups with ranked teams in 2014-15 by an average of 22.4 points and has dropped five straight in the series since a 71-58 home win over the then-ninth ranked Wildcats on Feb. 14, 2013.
