SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Tyler Rawson scored a career-high 25 points as Utah rolled over Northwestern State 84-62 in the nonconference season finale on Wednesday night.
Utah (8-3) jumped out to a 23-5 lead and cruised the rest of the way against the fifth-youngest team in the country. The Utes were on fire during that early stretch, knocking down 7 of 10 3-pointers as Rawson set the tone. He knocked down his first four shots from behind the arc while scoring 12 points during a 14-1 start.
Utah buried a season-high 15 triples, the third-most in school history.
