Men's Basketball Takes on Arizona State Monday in Tempe
1/10/2022 4:54 PM | Men's Basketball
The Utah men’s basketball closes out the road swing with a 2 p.m. (MT) battle against Arizona State on Monday.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team looks to snap its five-game skid this Monday, Jan. 17, as it closes out the road swing in Tempe as it takes on the Arizona State Sun Devils at 2 p.m. (MT) inside Desert Financial Arena.
Â
Roxy Bernstein will have the call between the Runnin' Utes and Sun Devils while Don MacLean serves as the analyst on the Pac-12 Networks broadcast.
Â
SCOUTING THE SUN DEVILS
Like many teams around the Pac-12 and country alike, Arizona State has had to deal with COVID-19 and have had three games postponed (at USC, at UCLA, Arizona) on top of a canceled game (Florida A&M). The Sun Devils are coming off a recent pause where they had to push back their game vs. in-state rival Arizona last week. Since Dec. 19, ASU has only played 3 games – a 66-65 loss to San Francisco at home, a 74-50 loss on the road to California and Saturday's loss to Colorado (75-57).
Â
Arizona State enters the game on Monday 5-9 overall and 1-3 in Pac-12 play with losses in its last 3 games. The Sun Devils are just 3-4 this season on their home floor, picking up wins over Portland, North Florida and Grand Canyon with losses to UC Riverside (buzzer beater), Washington State, San Francisco and Colorado. In those seven games, opponents have shot .348 from beyond the arc (9.3 3FGM per game).
Â
DJ Horne leads the team with 13.4 points per game to go with his 2.9 rebounding average and .398 shooting clip from 3-point range. Kimani Lawrence is next on the team averaging 10.4 points with team-highs in rebounds (7.5 rpg) and shooting-percentage (.500). Jay Heath is nearly in the double-digits category averaging 9.9 points and 3.7 rebounds. Marreon Jackson leads the team with 52 assists to go with his 7.3 points average while his 15 steals on the year is tied for second-most with Lawrence.
Â
PAC-12 WOES
Utah has now lost five-straight games in Pac-12 play with losses to Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State and #6/6 Arizona. The last time the Utes had a five-game losing streak was in 2012-13 in a similar stretch they are on now with losses at ASU, at #3 Arizona, UCLA, USC and at Washington State.
Â
The last time Utah had lost six or more consecutive games was during the 2011-12 campaign where it had two stretches of eight-straight losses. Once during the non-conference season and a second during league play.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
The Utes went toe-to-toe with #6/6 Arizona State for 2/3 of the game before the Wildcats showed why they were ranked in the top-10 and went on a 21-0 run that the Utes were able to recover from and lost 82-64. The Runnin' Utes kept pace with UA and was within one possession at the 11:38 media break before Arizona went on its run.
Â
Both Gach led the team 12 points off the bench while Lahat Thioune and Dusan Mahorcic each added a dozen points for Utah. Riley Battin paced Utah on the glass with eight boards to go with four points while Gabe Madsen chipped in with eight points.
Â
UP NEXT
Utah returns home the following week to entertain a pair of top-25 ranked opponents in UCLA and USC next week. The Runnin' Utes will face the Bruins on Thursday, Jan. 20, with a 9 p.m. (MT) tip on FS1 before hosting the Trojans on Saturday, Jan. 22, at 4:30 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks. The Utah men's basketball program will also be honoring the late Wat Misaka that day with a jersey ceremony.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
The Utes hit the road once again after their short home series with the LA schools and head to the PNW to battle Washington State (Jan. 26) and Washington (Jan. 29). The battle with the Cougars is set to tip-off at 8 p.m. (MT) while the game against the Huskies tips off at 3 p.m. (MT). Both contests are scheduled to air on Pac-12 Networks.
