SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Bryant Markson scored 17 points and Utah remained unbeaten by holding off Utah State 67-66 Wednesday, winning when the Aggies' last-second shot clanged off the back of the rim.
Jaycee Carroll, who scored 18 for Utah State, had a chance to win it at the end after Utah's Johnnie Bryant missed on a 3-pointer he didn't have to take. The Aggies got the rebound and had plenty of time to get a good look by Carroll, whose shot from the right side was off.
Utah (4-0) shot 15-for-25 in the second half and won, despite not scoring after Bryant's layup put the Utes up 67-62 with more than 2 minutes to play.
Bryant finished with 14 and Luke Nevill and Chris Jackson scored 10 each for Utah.
Nate Harris scored 10 for the Aggies (2-2), who blew out the Utes 71-45 last year in Logan.
Utah State led 59-57 after Carroll got a layup over the arm of the 7-foot-1 Nevill. But Lawrence Borha regained the lead for the Utes on a 3-pointer with about 6:30 remaining to start an 8-0 run.
Markson added a 3 about a minute later and revived the home fans, who for the first time all game were louder than the visitors. Borha completed the 8-0 run for Utah when he dribbled behind his back and drove the lane for a layup with 3:56 remaining.
Cass Matheus got the Aggies within 67-64, then Carroll cut the margin to one point but the Aggies couldn't take advantage of some rushed shots by the Utes down the stretch.
Utah State also had a chance at the end of the first half but squandered it.
Markson made a steal and took it in for a dunk, cocking the ball behind his head and slamming it down with both hands to put Utah up 31-26 with 2:25 left in the first half. Utah State came back with Chris Sessions dunking in an offensive rebound and was playing for the last shot, but couldn't get one off and the ball rolled out of bounds as time expired.
Five of the Aggies' 10 field goals in the first half were 3-pointers.
