SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Dakarai Tucker and Kyle Kuzma both scored 17 points to help No. 21 Utah survive an early scare and defeat the College of Idaho, 115-74, on Monday night.
Jakob Poeltl made all six of his field-goal attempts on his way to 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Utes (11-2). Brandon Taylor scored 15 points, and Lorenzo Bonam added 12 in the final tune-up for Pac-12 play, which begins later this week with three straight road games.
The Yotes raced to a 16-2 lead on the strength of four 3s and defensive pressure that forced three early turnovers.
