SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Andrew Bogut had 19 points and 18 rebounds as Utah defeated Minnesota 66-54 Wednesday in the second round of the Preseason NIT.
In a matchup of two of the most heralded freshmen in the country, Bogut, a 6-foot-10 forward from Australia, was 8-for-9 from the field and helped hold Minnesota freshman Kris Humphries to just one basket in the final 16:41 of the game.
Humphries finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds but made just 3 of 9 shots in the second half. Michael Bauer scored 12 points for Minnesota (1-1).
Nick Jacobson scored 13 points while Justin Hawkins and Richard Chaney each had nine for the Utes (2-0), who overcame 20 turnovers with a 40-28 rebounding advantage and suffocating, man-to-man defense.
Bogut made a twisting layup with 3:00 remaining and the Utes led 58-47 to assure themselves a trip to the NIT semifinals in New York next week. Utah plays the winner of Friday's Massachusetts-Texas Tech game in New York next week.
After Chris Jackson made a layup to put Utah ahead 45-33, Maurice Hargrow had four points in a 10-2 run. The Gophers held the Utes to a single field goal for more than seven minutes but could not draw closer than four points.
While Bogut had 11 points and 10 rebounds in the first half, Humphries scored 14 to keep Minnesota within 32-21 at halftime. The rest of the Gophers shot 3 of 16 in the half.
The game was the first between the teams since 1959.
