Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Nic Wise scored 29 points as Arizona, one of the last bubble teams to get an at-large NCAA Tournament berth, pulled out an 84-71 win over Utah in a first round contest in the Midwest Region. Giants Jersey . Chase Budinger added 20 points for Arizona (20-13), which had lost five of its last six games entering Fridays contest and became a 12-seed for the tournament. However, the Wildcats 25th consecutive NCAA tourney appearance will now continue, as they used a 14-3 run late in the game to secure the victory. In the second round, Arizona will face another double-digit seed, as 13th- seeded Cleveland State dominated fourth-seeded Wake Forest, 84-69, later Friday. "As far as us belonging here, we definitely belong here, and today was not about proving that," Arizona head coach Russ Pennell said. "That was not our motivation. Our motivation was to win the game and move on in this national tournament." Jordan Hill ended with 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Wildcats, while Kyle Fogg added 12 points. Tyler Kepkay had 19 points to pace Utah (25-10), which was awarded a No. 5 seed after winning the Mountain West tourney title. But the Utes leading scorer, Luke Nevill, was limited to 12 points after being in foul trouble much of the game. Utah also committed 20 turnovers facing Arizonas press defense. Lawrence Borha had 11 points for the Utes, while Shaun Green ended with 10 points and 10 boards. Arizona led most of the game and had double-digit leads in the first and second halves. But down the stretch, Utah used a 9-1 burst to get within two points. Kepkay opened the run with a jumper and closed it with a three- pointer, bringing the Utes to within 64-62 with a little over five minutes to go. But the Wildcats responded with their 14-3 run, which began with a Hill dunk. He later added a jumper, and his dunk with just over a minute left pushed Arizonas lead to 78-65. The Wildcats cruised to the win from there. "We thought that we were going to come back and tie the game until the last minute, basically when you knew it was kind of over," Kepkay said. Utah held a 4-3 lead less than two minutes into the contest, but Arizona took a double-digit lead with an 11-0 run. The Wildcats continued to lead by a substantial margin for most of the first half, and went ahead 29-17 on a Hill tip-in with under five minutes to play. But Borha connected on back-to-back three-pointers to bring Utah to within 29-23, and a Green trey in the closing seconds got the Utes within 34-29 at the break. Wise opened the second half with a layup, and the teams traded baskets in the opening minutes. Arizona stretched its lead to double digits several times and went ahead 63-53 after a Wise three-pointer with just over eight minutes remaining.
