SALT LAKE CITY — Justin Bibbins scored 20 and grabbed 10 rebounds as Utah broke a four-game losing streak with a 70-62 victory over Washington on Thursday.
The Huskies (13-6, 3-3 Pac-12 Conference) have now dropped back-to-back games for just the second time this season.
Utah (11-7, 3-4) muddled up the game throughout the night, but was locked in on defense and kept Washington from finding an offensive groove. Every time the Huskies seemed on the verge of putting together some type of run, the Utes had an answer — usually from the hands of Bibbins. Washington cut the lead to four late behind Jaylen Nowell’s 17 points, but could never get over the hump.
