The top-ranked team in men’s college basketball will put its undefeated record to perhaps its stiffest test yet on Monday night.
Entering the matchup with a 20-0 record, No. 1 Arizona will hit the road to take on freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa and No. 13 BYU at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah on Jan. 26.

The Wildcats are one of three undefeated remaining Division I teams, and only two with an unblemished record from a power conference (Nebraska being the other). Along with Duke, they’re also one of only two teams ranked in the top five nationally in offensive and defensive efficiency, according to KenPom.
Freshmen Koa Peat and Brayden Burries have led the way for coach Tommy Lloyd’s team, averaging 14.7 and 14.6 points per game, respectively.
They’ll take on a BYU team that has won 14 of its past 15 games, the last of which was a 91-78 victory against rival Utah. In that win, Dybantsa poured in a career-high 43 points. Projected by some as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Dybantsa is averaging 23.6 points per game this season, tied for the second-highest mark among Division I players.
