SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Britton Johnsen scored seven of his 17 points in a 19-5 stretch over the last six minutes, and Utah rallied to beat Air Force 59-51 Saturday night.
Utah coach Rick Majerus missed the game with a bronchial infection. Assistant coach Dick Hunsaker filled in for him.
Trace Caton gave the Utah (18-5, 8-2 Mountain West) its first lead at 47-46 with 4:39 to play when he stole the ball and converted two free throws following a foul by A.J. Kuhle on the breakaway.
Kuhle led Air Force (9-13, 3-6) with 13 points and Tom Bellairs added 12 points for the Falcons.
The Utes made just one of their first seven shots and did not hit double figures until 4:32 left in the opening half, when reserve Phil Cullen hit a 3-pointer to get it to 22-12.
Cullen followed with another 3 and converted a pair from the line as Utah went on a 13-0 run to tie the game at 22.
Air Force led 28-24 at halftime and took a 46-40 edge on Bellairs' layup with 7:18 to go.
The Falcons did not score again until Bellairs converted a layup with one minute left.
Lamoni Yazzie hit a 3 for Air Force with 8 seconds to go to cap the scoring.
Cullen finished with 13 points and Jeff Johnsen had 12 points for the Utes.
