The Washington State Cougars (9-6, 2-2 in Pac-12) picked up a huge conference win on the road against the Utah Runnin’ Utes (8-8, 1-5 in Pac-12) by a 77-61 final score on Saturday afternoon.
Despite a surge from Utah in the second half to cut the Cougar lead down from 19 to as little as eight, the Cougars were able to get enough stops on the defensive end paired with a handful of key shots to help maintain their distance and escape Salt Lake City with their first road win against the Utes since 1946.
