Alfonso Plummer tried really hard to end the Beavs season. He nearly accomplished all on his own. The Utah guard went off from three in the final minutes of the first half to break open what had been a pretty back and forth game. On the back off his hot hand the Utes carried an 8 point lead into halftime.
The second half started much like the first half ended as Plummer and the Utes pushed the lead to 14.
Oregon State was not done though, Tres Tinkle was not going to go out like that. Kylor Kelley still had some blocks left in him.
