Hot-shooting Utah upsets No. 25 USC 86-64

SALT LAKE CITY -- Devon Daniels scored 17 points and Utah earned its first win against a ranked team this season with an 86-64 victory over No. 25 USC on Thursday night.

The Utes overcame a sluggish start and throttled the Trojans for the final 35 minutes of the game.

Utah fell behind 10-0 at the start and then dominated the rest of the first half to take a 44-31 lead. The Utes seemed to sleepwalk through the first 4-plus minutes, shooting 0 for 5 from the field before hitting 18 of 23 (78.3 percent) of its shots the rest of the half.
