SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Andre Miller had 24 points and Hanno Mottola added 22 points and nine rebounds as Utah won its sixth straight game, crushing archrival Brigham Young 75-54 on Saturday night.
Utah won its 29th straight home game, the fifth-longest streak in the nation, to extend its school record for consecutive home wins. The Runnin' Utes, who never trailed, finished a three-week homestand with a 6-0 record and won for the eighth time in their last nine games.
In the Western Athletic Conference opener for both teams, Utah (11-4, 1-0 WAC) used a patient offense keyed by Miller - who was 11-for-17 from the field and had seven rebounds, six assists and three steals - and stifling defense to overwhelm the Cougars (5-8, 0-1 WAC).
BYU has lost three of its last four games and eight straight in this heated rivalry. The Cougars have trailed by double digits in the first half of all but one of their road games this season.
Utah opened the second half with a 16-6 run and led by as many as 27 points before going scoreless for nearly six minutes late in the game. BYU made a 12-0 run in the closing minutes that made the final score respectable.
Brigham Young never recovered after failing to get a field goal on its first 10 possessions. The Cougars trailed 9-1 before Todd Christensen's jumper with 13:30 left in the half.
Moments later, Utah made a 15-0 run, holding BYU scoreless for over four minutes. Miller was scintillating during the rally, hitting five straight shots, including a 3-pointer that made the score 27-7 and brought the sellout Huntsman Center crowd to its feet.
