Brayden Burries scored 29 points and made a game-saving block in the final seconds as top-ranked Arizona remained unbeaten by holding off a furious rally from No. 13 BYU for an 86-83 victory. Jaden Bradley added 26 points for the Wildcats, who improved to 21-0 and matched the best start in school history. BYU trailed by 19 midway through the second half before trimming the deficit to one with a 12-2 run that began with just more than a minute left. Robert Wright III had a chance to put the Cougars ahead, but Burries came flying over from the weak side to block the shot from behind.
