TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Nick Johnson hit a 3-pointer with just over a minute left and had 18 points, Kyle Fogg added 17 points and Arizona beat Utah 70-61 on Saturday.

Coming off three solid wins, Arizona (18-8, 9-4 Pac-12) came out flat against Utah, falling into a 13-point first-half hole.

The Wildcats rallied in the second half behind the 3-point shooting of Fogg and Brendon Lavender, then held on after Johnson's 3-pointer to win their fourth straight game. Solomon Hill had 14 points and Lavender hit four 3-pointers for all of his 12 points.

Utah (5-11, 2-11) hit 9 of 18 from the arc against the Pac-12's best team at defending 3-pointers, but didn't hit a shot from anywhere over the final 5:42 to lose its sixth straight game. Jason Washburn and Cedric Martin had 15 points each for the Utes, 0-13 on the road this season.
