No. 4 Stanford and No. 8 Utah highlight a heavyweight Pac-12 battle.
Stanford (17-2) is coming off its second loss of the season after Southern California upset the Cardinal 55-46. The 2021 national champions recorded season lows across the board, including points. The Cardinal dropped below the No. 2 spot for the first time since December 2021.
Meanwhile, Utah (15-1) travels to Maples Pavilion after a pivotal win over then-No. 14 Arizona to allow the Utes to crack the AP top-10 rankings for the first time this season.
Junior forward Cameron Brink tops Stanford in points (13.9) and rebounds (9.7). Brink is also second in the nation in blocks with 3.3 per game. Senior guard Haley Jones follows with 13.1 ppg and 8.3 rebounds.
Junior forward Alissa Pili paces the Utes with 19.8 ppg and 5.7 rebounds, leading Utah in both categories. The matchup between the two talented forwards, Brink and Pili, will be fun to watch.
The Cardinal is 30-1 against Utah in the all-time series, with the Utes claiming their first and only victory in 2019.
