SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Andrew Bogut scored 17 points and Utah set a school record for defensive field goal percentage in an 87-39 win over Savannah State Saturday.
Savannah State (1-6) managed to make just 10-of-55 shots for 18 percent.
Bogut, a freshman center who made 8-of-11 shots in just 15 minutes of play and scored 11 straight Ute points early in the game to stretch the Utah's lead to 18-4.
The Utes (6-2) never led by less than that 14-point margin the rest of the game, which marked their 22nd win in their last 23 home contests.
Tim Frost had 13 points and 12 rebounds, while sophomore center Chris Jackson posted career highs with 10 points and nine rebounds as Utah won convincingly for the third straight time after dropping two games at the Preseason NIT in New York.
Thomas Simpson and Dairien Taylor each scored seven points to pace Savannah State in their worst loss of the season.
In the first half, the smaller Tigers tried fronting Utah's big men in the post but the Utes passed the ball over the top time after time for easy lay-ups. Utah outscored Savannah State 50-10 on points in the paint.
