It wasn’t pretty, heck, it wasn’t even close to pretty as the Utes beat Wazzu tonight by a score of 74-70. Things started rough for the Utes, as they fell behind by 10 early on, 19-9, after having a flurry of turnovers in the first eight minutes of the game. Utah got things in order for the remainder of the half, and went on a 25-4 run, before leading by six at half, after Wazzu hit a couple of threes to trim the 11 point lead. Utah was pretty solid on defense in that opening half, only allowing Wazzu to shoot 38%, but those seven turnovers kept the game closer than it should have been.
