- Arizona enters Thursday night's game with the longest active home winning streak in the nation at 40 games. It's the third-longest streak in program history, which includes 81 games (1945-51) and 71 games (1987-92). UA's top two streaks make it the only program in the nation with multiple home winning streaks in the top ten in all-time NCAA history.
- Included in the Wildcats' 40-game home winning streak is a 26-game non-conference home winning streak, the nation's sixth longest.
- UA head coach Sean Miller is two wins from tying Fred Snowden (1972-82) for third place in career wins in UA coaching history at 167 victories, trailing only Lute Olson (589 wins) and Fred Enke (509).
- Senior Kaleb Tarczewski is 39 points from the 1,000-point mark in his career. He would become the 50th player in UA history to surpass 1,000 career points and the fifth Wildcat to achieve the feat under Coach Sean Miller.
- The Wildcats will look to carry over their improved shooting from beyond the arc in the second halves of games this season. UA is 4 of 18 (.222) from three-point range in the first half this season while connecting on 7 of 16 (.438) from deep in the second half.
- Thursday evening marks the first-ever meeting between the Wildcats and the Broncos. Arizona has faced 19 programs for the first time in program history during the Sean Miller era (2009 to present), posting a record of 18-1 in those games.
