The Arizona State men's basketball team was able to snap a three-game losing streak on Monday afternoon after winning a close game against the Utah Utes (8-10; 1-7) at Desert Financial Arena.
The Sun Devils found themselves in a battle with the Utes that saw 16 lead changes and eight ties. Both teams struggled to get the lid off of the basket early and it was a low-scoring affair for much of the first half. Despite an exciting 7-2 run that was capped off by a big three from Marreon Jackson in the final minutes of the first half, the Utes held a 28-26 lead at halftime thanks to a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Utah's David Jenkins Jr.
