SALT LAKE CITY — Utah claimed a rare Oregon sweep Sunday, defeating the Oregon State Beavers 66-64 in an afternoon contest to go 2-0 to start Pac-12 play.
Down 2 points with 1.4 seconds left in the game, Oregon State needed one last heroic to claim a victory on its home court. But a turnover by Beavers’ Ethan Thompson on an inbound play sealed a Utah victory about the Utes were able to inbound the ball.
The Utes were up by 8 points with just under 4 minutes to play amid a nearly 8-minute scoring drought by the Beavers, but Utah took its foot off the pedal and allowed the Beavers to get back into the game.
