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.
