SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Kevin Bradley and Jeff Johnsen each scored 20 points as No. 18 Utah, playing without coach Rick Majerus, beat Cardinal Stritch 93-47 on Tuesday night.
Majerus will miss about five weeks to strengthen a surgically repaired knee. He traveled Monday to Las Vegas, where he plans to undergo a rigid two-week rehabilitation program.
After Cardinal Stritch, an NAIA school from Milwaukee, Wis., took a 9-2 lead on Greg Arnold's jumper, Utah coach Dick Hunsaker replaced the entire starting lineup except Bradley with Chris Burgess, Britton Johnsen, Trace Caton and Nick Jacobson. That group went on a 17-2 run over the next five minutes.
Bradley, a junior college transfer, was 8-of-10 from the field in his best offensive game for the Utes (4-1). Johnsen, one of Utah's four returning lettermen, set a career-high for scoring.
Utah shot 55 percent and ran its home winning streak to 54 games, the longest in NCAA Division I.
Bill Neubauer and Arnold each had 12 points for Cardinal Stritch (5-3), which dropped two games on its Utah road trip after starting 5-1.
With its tallest starter at 6-foot-5, Cardinal Stritch was outsized by the Utes, but used an array of long jumpers and backdoor cuts for layups to keep within striking distance most of the first half.
Utah closed the half with a 9-3 run, and used a 20-1 run early in the second to make it 64-31.
Hunsaker was the associate head coach under Majerus at Ball State from 1987-89 and later led the Cardinals to two NCAA tournament as head coach.
