Utah opens season with 75-61 win over Maine
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Sedrick Barefield scored 18 points and Donnie Tillman added 15 to lead Utah to a 75-61 win over Maine on Thursday night in the Utes' season opener.
The Utes prevailed after shooting 49 percent from the field and finishing with a 42-26 advantage on the glass.
Isaiah White scored 24 points and Terion Moss added 13 to lead the Black Bears (0-2). Maine trailed wire-to-wire after shooting just 40 percent.
Utah sizzled from the perimeter early in the first half and it led to a quick double-digit lead. The Utes connected on their first seven field-goal attempts and started 9 of 10 from the field. That run of baskets included six 3-pointers.
