A blow out is what happened on Saturday afternoon, but the score doesn't really reflect it. The Utes led by almost 30 points in the second half before Coach K made a mass sub at about the 12 minute mark of the game. Oregon State would rally to make things a bit uncomfortable, cutting Utah’s lead down to 7, but Utah would close it out with the 86-78 win, giving Utah the split at home this week over the Oregon schools.
Utah finally started to get the separation from the Beavers in the first half when Lorenzo Bonam hit a contested three at the buzzer.
