Utah built a 30-point lead early in the second half Saturday night and coasted to an 88-70 win over Washington State in men’s basketball at the Huntsman Center.
The Utes led 60-30 with 13:59 to play before allowing the Cougars to get within 15 points in the last two minutes.
Utah had six scorers in double figures: Timmy Allen (15), Both Gach (14), Riley Battin (11), Charles Jones Jr. (11), Sedrick Barefield (10) and Parker Van Dyke (10).
This was the closest thing to a guaranteed Pac-12 win for Utah (8-8, 2-2). ESPN's Basketball Power Index gave the Utes a 76.
