Utah did a slightly better job of converting possessions into points Saturday at Kentucky, as long as the Utes held onto the basketball long enough to attempt a shot.
But that didn't happen often enough in an 88-61 loss to the No. 19 Wildcats at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky.
Utah (4-5) was charged with 18 turnovers and Kentucky turned them into 34 points. The Wildcats (8-2) had only six turnovers and were led by guard Keldon Johnson with 24 points.
Freshman guard Both Gach led the Utes with 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting and Jayce Johnson added 11 points.
