Utes Nearly Take Down BYU in Provo, Lose 61-58

Utah nearly took down BYU in Provo, missing a three point shot to send the game to overtime after leading for 37 minutes. After multiple years of being dominated by BYU, the Utes competed to the final minute and outplayed BYU for most of the game in a thriller.

For the second straight game, Utah's tough defense was dominant. Utah held BYU to 31.1 percent shooting from the field. Cedric Martin held BYU's leading scorer Tyler Haws to 2-10 shooting and Brandon Davies was held to 11 points.

Jordan Loveridge led the Utes in scoring with 14 points on 5-11 shooting, with 12 of his 14 points coming in the second half. Glen Dean had 10 points and Jason Washburn had 9 off the bench.

 Up next, Utah hosts SMU at home on Tuesday, December 18th at 7 p.m. After losing 62-55 on the road at SMU in late November, Utah will be looking to get revenge on the (8-1) Mustangs.

Utes Win Big Over Boise State, 76-55

Utah (6-2) picked up arguably their biggest win in years, beating a Boise State (6-2) team that came into the Huntsman Center with a win over Creighton and only one close loss to Michigan State.  The Broncos came into the game ranked No. 52 in the RPI and received Top 25 votes in the USA Today and AP Polls.

Jarred DuBois led the team with 18 points and Jason Washburn added 11 off the bench.  Glen Dean had a strong performance with 8 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.  Freshman Jordan Loveridge was in double figures with 11 points while also grabbing 5 rebounds.

Most importantly, Utah played well as a team hitting 67.5 percent of their shots and 81.3 percent from the free throw line, while playing strong defense.  In a game where Utah honored Rick Majerus, they played in a way that would have made the coach proud.

This statement win should give Utah momentum as they prepare to face BYU Saturday in Provo.  Utah hasn't beaten BYU since 2009, but they bring a much stronger team under coach Larry Krystkowiak.  This team is off to their best start since 2003-2004, the final year that Coach Majerus was on The Hill.

Runnin' Utes To Honor Majerus & Face Boise State

The (5-2) Runnin' Utes will play their biggest game yet this season as they face (6-1) Boise State Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Huntsman Center.

Arrive early as the school will mourn the loss of former Utah Basketball Coach Rick Majerus with a pregame video tribute and moment of silence.  The MUSS will hang a banner honoring Majerus with the 2003-2004 Basketball MUSS logo.  Later in the season, the famous Majerus sweater will be retired in the rafters.

Utah needs just one more win to match their win total from last year.  With a much improved team, Jarred DuBois leads with 15.7 PPG and freshman Jordan Loveridge has 12.3 PPG and 8.6 RPG on the season.

Boise State is off to a great start this season, including a 13 point win at No. 11 Creighton.  Their only loss came on the road at Michigan State, losing by just four points.  The Broncos are led by sophomore guard Derrick Marks who is averaging 18.7 PPG  and Anthony Drmic with 15.9 PPG and 5.6 RPB.

All University of Utah students get in free with their U-Card and can bring up to four non-student guests to each game.  Students can get a free Basketball MUSS shirt for the season on the concourse until 5 minutes before tipoff at 6:25 p.m.
