Utah is easily the more dominant team in its matchup against Fresno State. Jordan Loveridge started the game out with a couple of quick 3-pointers to give Utah the early hot hand and lead.

But the turnovers bug reared its head again on sloppy, careless play that came in bunches. Utah finished the half with 10 turnovers. The Bulldogs scored 8 points off of Utah’s turnovers.

Although the turnovers are keeping Utah from blowing the game wide open, the Utes are out-rebounding the Bulldogs 26-8. Jakob Poeltl, alone, has 10 rebounds.
