It started really well for the Utes as they took on BYU in Provo, but things unwound for the Utes as the first half wore on. Utah took a 14-9 lead out of the first media break and really had some excellent ball movement and finding the right guy, with multiple open threes and dunks. Then Utah gave up a 15-2 run to BYU and the Utah offense really went cold, which it is prone to do, while the defense couldn’t guard a chair for a while. While Utah went cold, BYU hit nine of 10 shots, and was getting anything they wanted.
