Utes fall to Mizzou on the road
It was going to be a tough game for the Utes without Branden Carlson, who stayed in SLC in healthy and safety protocols. Without that big man and Dusan Mahorcic, the Utes were going to have a hard time rebounding and having any significant impact in the paint. This was pretty well illustrated by the shooting by the Utes, who shot 40% from three and 42% overall for the game. The Utes did most of their damage from beyond the arc. The Utes ended up falling 83-75, and it was a one or two-possession game throughout. The Utes had to play the foul game at the end, which is why the lead stretched to eight. The Utes were led by David Jenkins 18 points off the bench, as he seemingly has found his shot again after a couple of challenging games. Marco Anthony had 16, and Both Gach pitched in 15 points.
