No. 1 Arizona cruises past Utah 97-78 to remain undefeated

Tobe Awaka and Jaden Bradley each scored 18 points and No. 1 Arizona cruised past Utah 97-78 on Saturday to remain undefeated

JANUARY 3 • Associated Press

Tobe Awaka - Dominates with third double double Awaka recorded 18 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 97-78 win over Utah.

Impact Awaka continues to come off the bench but saw the most court time he's seen all season, responding with an 18 point, 12 rebound double double--his third such effort of the season. The 18 points represent a season-best mark for the senior big man who not only dominated the paint with six offensive boards but also stretched the defense by connecting on both of his attempts from beyond the arc, doubling his previous season total from long range in the process. Despite playing just 20.3 minutes per contest, Awaka is averaging a double double, with 10.1 points and 10.3 rebounds through 14 games.

Brayden Burries - Posts first double double Burries closed Saturday's 97-78 win over Utah with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

Impact Burries crashed the glass for a career-high 11 boards en route to his first double double during Arizona's win. Burries also added two steals, the seventh time he's accumulated multiple thefts in a contest. It was the ninth-straight double-figure scoring effort for the freshman wing, who is averaging 17.8 points to go along with 4.9 boards, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals across 28.1 minutes during that stretch.

Impact Koa Peat dominated an outmatched South Dakota State squad by accumulating a career-best 14 rebounds to go along with 19 points in collecting his second double double of the campaign. The talented freshman had cooled a bit in recent games after a hot start to the season, haivng totaled no more than 11 points or five rebounds across his previous four contests but was able to put together his best stat line since opening night to help lead top-ranked Arizona to an undefeated showing during the non-conference slate. Peat will enter Saturday's initial Big-12 clash against Utah with averages of 14.2 points, 5.6 boards and 2.8 assists across 26.7 minutes per contest.

Burries scores 20 points, No. 1 Arizona runs away from Bethune-Cookman for 107-71 win

Brayden Burries scored 20 points, Ivan Kharchenkov added 14 and top-ranked Arizona overcame a sluggish start to rout Bethune-Cookman 107-71

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Tobe Awaka - Producing off bench Awaka amassed 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 107-71 victory over Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Awaka continues to be a valuable member of the Wildcats' rotation, accumulating 12 points and eight boards as the top-ranked team in the country cruised to their 12th-consecutive win to start the season. Awaka has come off the bench for each of those 12 contests and is generally splitting time with Motiejus Krivas but has performed at a high level when on the floor. Awaka has been a menace on the glass, with four games of at least 15 rebounds and is averaging a hefty 10.4 boards per season to go along with 9.4 points across just 19.9 minutes of action per contest.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Kharchenkov - Picking things up on both ends Kharchenkov provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 107-71 win over Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Kharchenkov matched a season high with five thefts while adding 14 points, five boards and three assists. The freshman from Munich got off to a bit of a slow start offensively this season but has picked things up on both ends in recent games. Across his last seven performances, Kharchenkov has reached double figures in scoring in all but one contest, posting averages of 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.6 steals across 23.4 minutes per contest.
