CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Utah Runnin' Utes snapped a two-game road losing streak to Oregon State and downed the Beavers 66-64 in Pac-12 play Sunday evening at Gill Coliseum.
 
The Utes (10-3, 2-0) overcame a six-point second half deficit to the Beavers (9-5, 1-1) and managed to win in Corvallis for the first time since 2015.
 
Justin Bibbins knocked down four three-pointers and led the Utes with 18 points, while David Collette added 12 points for the Utes. Kolbe Caldwell was a perfect 3-for-3 from downtown and set a new career high with nine points.
 
Bibbins dished out a team-high six assists and Jayce Johnson led the team on the boards with five rebounds.
 
Utah shot 47 percent from the floor overall, which included a 47 percent effort from three-point range. 30 of Utah's 38 points at the break came from its 10 first half three-pointers. Utah was solid at the free throw line once again as the Pac-12 leaders in free throw shooting went 13-of-16 from the charity stripe.
 
Utah returns home next week to host both Arizona squads, first hosting the Wildcats this coming Thursday, Jan. 4 and then ending the week taking on Arizona State on Sunday, Jan. 7. Tip-off on Thursday is set for 7 p.m. MT at the Huntsman Center.
