Arizona returns to Tucson for a pair of games inside McKale Center where the Wildcats have won 80 of their last 82 home games going back to the 2012-13 season. UA is 133-13 (.911) at home under head coach Sean Miller with a mark of 66-9 (.880) in Pac-12 home games.

The Wildcats capped off a road sweep in the Bay Area last week with a thrilling 73-71 victory at Stanford on Saturday. Arizona was down 11 points to the Cardinal with nine minutes remaining before completing the comeback. Allonzo Trier scored a team-high 21 points in the win, including a trio of critical free throws in the final 18 seconds of the game. Dusan Ristic added 18 points and nine rebounds in the victory on 9-of-13 (.692) shooting from the field.

Freshman Deandre Ayton put on a defensive display in the win at Stanford with a season-best six blocks. Ayton's five rejections in the first half were the most by a Wildcat in a half since Jordan Hill blocked six shots in the first half versus San Diego State on Dec. 10, 2008. The Bahamas native doubled his previous high of three blocks, which he had done on three separate occasions.

UA will look to avenge its loss to the Buffaloes in Boulder earlier this month. When facing a Pac-12 foe for a second time in a season following a loss in the first game, Arizona is 8-4 since 2010 with five consecutive wins.

In his team's last game versus Colorado, Parker Jackson-Cartwright tallied eight assists to just one turnover, which was the fifth highest assist-to-turnover ratio game of his career. PJC's marks in his last three games against the Buffaloes are 21 assists to just three turnovers with six steals.

Arizona enters Thursday's game as winners of 13 of its last 14 games going back to November with an average margin of victory of 12.7 points in those 13 victories.

With an all-time record of 16-13 versus Colorado (11-5 in Pac-12 era), only three of the 13 defeats have come in Tucson. The Wildcats have won seven straight games in the head-to-head series in Tucson, going back to 1967.
