SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Andrew Bogut scored a career-high 33 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead No. 15 Utah to its 16th straight victory, 64-50 over Colorado State on Saturday night.
Bogut, who also blocked five shots, missed his first two free throws and then made 17 in a row for the Utes (21-3, 9-0 Mountain West), whose winning streak is the second-longest in the nation behind top-ranked Illinois (25-0)
Marc Jackson had nine points, and Justin Hawkins added eight for Utah.
Matt Williams scored 17 points for the Rams (9-13, 1-8), who lost their seventh straight game overall and 18th straight on the road. Matt Nelson scored in double figures for the 20th straight game, finishing with 12 points before fouling out with 12:29 left.
Williams made two free throws to cut Utah's lead to 55-50 with 2:36 left, but Bryant Markson countered with a 3-pointer that sparked a game-closing 9-0 run.
The Utes went on a 12-2 run that featured dunks by Bogut, Markson and Richard Chaney to take a 47-30 lead midway through the second half. But Utah stopped getting the ball to Bogut, and the Rams battled back behind all five of their 3-pointers in a 5-minute span.
After blocking Nelson's shot, Bogut made a layup and drew Nelson's fifth foul. Bogut leads the nation in double-doubles with 16.
Utah has won by an average of 17 points during its streak. The Utes' last loss came against Arizona on Dec. 11.
Williams returned to the lineup after missing three games with a sprained knee. Jason Smith, a 7-footer, sat out with a strained hamstring.
Colorado State's current losing streak began with a 75-52 loss to Utah on Jan. 17.
