The Utes had entered the game on a streak of hard luck, having won only one of their last three games following an early four-game winning streak in conference play.
While the season looked lost, senior Parker Van Dyke looked poised to not let his final year begin to dissipate, as he led Utah back from 22 down to a one-point victory behind a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
The three was one that not only saved the game for the Utes; It saved the season, as the team now has the chance to fight for a top-four spot in the Pac-12 which would lock up a first-round bye come time for the conference tournament.
