As I think many of us would have predicted before the game, the Utes were just outmanned in a matchup against Kentucky on the road, where they lost 88-61. With that said, the Utes did show some heart throughout much of this game, before Kentucky really buried them with a late run.
The Utes played really well early on in the game, holding a lead and keeping UK within arms reach for much of the opening half. The ‘Cats did build big leads throughout the game, but Utah would find a way to battle back and cut those loads down to single digits time and again.
