SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Freshman Donnie Tillman scored a career-high 16 points as Utah led start to finish in an 80-60 win over Hawaii on Saturday.
The Utes simply had more skill and size than the visiting Rainbow Warriors and cruised to the win despite some ugly play on both sides.
Tillman shot 5 for 9 from the field and added eight rebounds off the bench. Dave Collette finished with 16 points for Utah (6-1) while Gabe Bealer scored 14 and knocked down four 3-pointers.
Utah led 37-30 at halftime after a sluggish start offensively for both teams.
