MTO | 1Q | 4:27 Utah 14 | South Carolina 16 Utah getting a lot of easy layups but South Carolina muscling out Utah in the post. Good balanced game so far.
UPDATE: Runnin' Utes trailed 3-2, and then it was all Utah after that. It was a strong win for Utah against a previously undefeated No. 14 BYU. https://t.co/VveKWTQoCb

Utah beats rival No. 14 BYU! https://t.co/PWIq4dVa5O
And another unbeaten goes down. TCU, Colorado State, Cincinnati and now BYU all fall today. Nevada in danger. Utah just beat Mark Pope’s Cougars in Salt Lake. BYU couldn’t make a shot from just about anywhere.
Utah beats No. 14 BYU, which was No. 1 in the NET. That St. John's win over the Utes looking pretty good now. Utah also won at Saint Mary's. #sjubb

MTO | 1H | 3:32 Utah 32 | BYU 23 BYU cut Utah's lead to 5, and then Utah went on a small run to build the lead back up. It's been a lot of that this first half.

MTO | 1H | 10:42 Utah 20 | BYU 12 Utah shooting 62% from the field, while BYU is shooting 31%. But the Cougars have played much better over the last few minutes.
MTO | 1H | 15:25 Utah 12 | BYU 3 About as good of a start as Utah could ask for. Hitting shots and playing good defense to force BYU into misses.
