Maybe a little change was all the Arizona Wildcats needed.
Having lost five of their previous seven games, Arizona went home to McKale Center on Thursday, changed its starting lineup and found the sort of Max Hazzard they had long been expecting.
All that helped translate into Arizona’s 93-77 win over Utah, moving the Wildcats to 12-5 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12 heading into a showdown Saturday against Colorado at McKale Center.
Having been mostly just a limited factor over the past month, Hazzard on Thursday set season-highs in points (24) and 3-pointers made (6 for 10), becoming the kind of 3-point threat he was expected to be since arriving as a grad transfer from UC Irvine last season.
