Utah Basketball: Runnin' Utes hold on to beat UCLA, 75-73, for first win in LA in 55 years

At the end of the UCLA game for the Utes, it came down to an LA kid to stop the bleeding and put the dagger in his hometown college team. UCLA had stormed back from down 14 points to cut the deficit to just two, when Brandon Taylor brought the ball up the floor and calmly hit a three, when his men went under a screen, with 15 seconds remaining giving Utah a 5 point lead, and the breathing room they needed to put the game away. Thursday's win marks Utah first win over UCLA in Los Angeles in 55 years -- so they were due.
