SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Britton Johnsen scored 16 points as Utah used interior dominance to defeat Boise State 64-49 Tuesday night.
Nick Jacobson had 14 points and Chris Burgess added 13 as the Utes (2-0) outscored BSU 26-14 in the paint and outrebounded the Broncos 20-10 in the second half.
The Broncos (0-2) stayed close with the heavily favored Utes, trailing 37-34 when Jason Ellis made a jump shot with 10:09 to play. Then Utah unleashed an offensive barrage over the next 4:28 with a 14-1 run, capped by five points from Jacobson to make it 51-35 for the Utes.
Despite struggling with foul trouble, Richard Morgan led BSU with 11 points. Abe Jackson, the Broncos' primary scoring threat, was rattled by Utah's physical defense and scored just seven points, all in the first half. The Broncos didn't shoot a free throw until 13:38 remained in the game.
Though Utah returns all five of its starters from last year's 19-12 team, the Ute offense looked out of rhythm for much of the game. However, the Utes' strength on the front line wore down the Broncos and they found much easier shots against BSU's matchup zone defense in the second half.
Boise State led 19-18 after Trever Tillman's jumper with 2:51 until halftime. But Chris Burgess sparked an 8-0 run with two inside baskets and Utah took a 26-19 edge at the break.
The marked the third meeting between the schools and the first since BSU defeated Utah 62-61 in the first round of the 1987 NIT.
