Missouri State was led by Spencer Laurie with 18 points and Chris Cook with 11.
The Utes held the Bears to just 34 percent from the floor, while shooting over 50 percent for the fourth consecutive game.

But Utah went on a 15-5 run with Nevill on the bench and led 46-36 when he returned with 9:53 remaining. The Bears never got closer than 8 points after that.
