After a week of barely being able to eat, Utah guard Sedrick Barefield walked right past the boxed burrito on the table in the Huntsman Center tunnel until someone reminded him about the postgame meal.
That moment spoiled the theme of how Barefield thrived Saturday by simply taking what was available to him. Having forced and missed a bunch of shots, the senior played much more smoothly and efficiently in the second half, when he scored all of his 15 points in the Utes’ 69-64 victory over Tulsa.
Utah (4-3) needed this win against a decent American Athletic Conference opponent, after a mostly discouraging three-game performance in the Wooden Legacy in California.
