PROVO, Utah (AP) - Trent Whiting scored 21 points to lead BYU to a 69-61 win over Utah Monday night.

The Cougars went on a 9-0 run that opened a 49-34 lead with 11:16 to play.
Utah (11-9, 3-3) cut the lead to 11, but an 8-0 run by the Cougars gave them a 60-41 lead with 7:47.
Utah made a late run, getting within 8 points, but BYU put the game away at the free-throw line.
Mekeli Wesley scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half for BYU and Terrell Lyday added 14. Nick Jacobson led Utah with 11 points.
The win extended BYU's home record to 11-0 this season.
