SALT LAKE CITY — Yoeli Childs made more than a few big shots in his first neutral-site rivalry game against Utah.
But none were bigger than a dunk with 11:23 remaining.
It didn’t cap a big run or prove to be a game winner. But when Childs took a behind-the-back pass from TJ Haws and drove home a rim-rattling dunk from the alley to give the Cougars a 48-35 lead, the near-lower bowl sellout crowd couldn’t help but cheer — even those wearing crimson.
Childs poured in 31 points, 11 rebounds and two assists, and Haws added 18 points, six rebounds and four assists to lift BYU to a 74-59 win over the Utes in front of a 50-50 crowd Saturday afternoon at Vivint Arena.
