Utes Fall to #7 Ducks in Eugene on Thursday
2/16/2017 10:12 PM | Men's Basketball
Johnson collects first career double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds
EUGENE, Ore. – Freshman Jayce Johnson registered his first career double-double with a team-high 14 points and 12 rebounds, but the Utah Runnin' Utes (17-9, 8-6) were handed a road loss to the No. 7-ranked Oregon Ducks (23-4, 12-2) Thursday evening at Matthew Knight Arena.
Â
Johnson set a new season/career-high with his 14-point effort, which came on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. His 12 boards were a game-high and the Santa Monica, Calif., native also registered one of Utah's three blocked shots on the night.
Â
Junior David Collette added 12 points, while sophomore Sedrick Barefield and freshman Devon Daniels totaled seven points each. Senior Lorenzo Bonam led the Utes defensively with a pair of blocks and three steals.
Â
Oregon took a 41-25 lead into halftime after shooting .581 (18-of-31) from the field and limiting the Utes to just a .375 (12-of-32) effort.
Â
Utah was down 21-12 following a jumper from junior David Collette midway through the first half, but the Ducks used a 16-4 to push its lead to 37-16 with 3:17 left in the period. Johnson reeled off six straight points for the Utes and Utah managed to close out the final three-plus minutes with a 9-4 run.
Â
Oregon opened the second half with an 11-5 run to increase its lead to 20 points, up 52-32. Utah would trade buckets with the home team throughout the majority of the second half and were outscored by just two points the rest of the way.
Â
The Utes fell to 8-6 in conference play with the defeat, but head coach Larry Krystkowiak was encouraged by what he saw from his team.
Â
"I was really proud of our guys' effort tonight," said Krystkowiak. "We got beat by the better team, but there is a reason why they are seventh in the country and I am not sure they are not even better than that. [Oregon head coach] Dana Altman has done a heck of a job with that team and there is not a lot of margin for error when you come into this building."
Â
Utah finished the contest shooting .382 (25-of-68) field, while Oregon tallied a .534 (31-of-58) shooting percentage on the night. The Ducks shot less than 37 percent from beyond the arc, but did manage to make seven three-pointers compared to Utah's three trey's in the game.
Â
Utah lost the rebounding advantage, 38-31 overall, but the Utes totaled 14 offensive rebounds, which turned into 19 second-chance points.
Â
