LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Tony Harvey scored 19 points Thursday as second-seeded Utah survived a scare from seventh-seeded Air Force, beating the Falcons 74-65 in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament.
Utah faces sixth-seeded Brigham Young in Friday's semifinals. The Cougars upset third-seeded New Mexico 58-43 earlier in the day at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Hanno Mottola added 17 points, Nate Althoff had 13 and Jeff Johnsen scored 10 for the Utes (22-7). MWC player of the year Alex Jensen was held to four points, but had eight rebounds.
Jarvis Croff scored 23 of his 31 points in the second half for Air Force (8-20). Croff was 8-of-19 from 3-point range and the Falcons were 11-of-29 as a team compared to 12-of-33 from inside the 3-point line.
Tyron Wright added 14 points and Miguel Garcia had 12 for the Falcons.
Utah led 28-23 at halftime and extended the lead to 16 points before Air Force battled back into contention.
The Falcons got as close as five points with a little less than four minutes left before Mottola made a 3-pointer and a short jumper to trigger a 9-0 run. Air Force didn't score again until Wright made a 3-pointer with 37.1 seconds to play.
Utah finished with 26 free throws in 39 attempts while Air Force was just 8-of-11 from the foul line.
