SALT LAKE CITY – It wasn’t just Megan Huff’s physical toughness that was on display in Utah’s win over BYU Saturday.

It was her mental fortitude.

Recovering from an illness, the senior forward struggled mightily in the first half, only to dominate the paint in the second half, scoring 24 of her 28 points in the Utes' 78-67 victory over their rivals in front of 6,106 fans at the Huntsman Center.
