Runnin' Utes Hit the Road for Thursday Night Tilt Versus Beavers
1/24/2023 2:58 PM | Men's Basketball
The Utah basketball team hits the road this week as it battles Oregon State first on Thursday, Jan. 26.
SALT LAKE CITY – Sitting in second heading into the turn in the Pac-12 standings, the Utah men's basketball team looks to pick up its first road win of 2023 in conference play this Thursday, Jan. 26, when it squares off against Oregon State at 9 p.m. (MT).
Â
JB Long will once again guide fans through the action while former Husky Eldridge Recasner serves as the analyst in the Pac-12 Networks broadcast as the Runnin' Utes look for their first win in Corvallis since Dec. 31, 2018.
Â
COACHES VS. CANCER
With Utah hitting the road this week, the Runnin' Utes got a head start on #SuitsAndSneakers Week as it partnered with the Huntsman Cancer Institute to raise money for cancer research. Utah will be wearing the NABC/Coaches vs. Cancer lapel pins this week on the road and wear White sneakers in support of #SuitsAndSneakers Week.

CLEAN SWEEP
Utah completed the season sweep at home against the Washington schools for the seventh time since joining the league in 2011-12. The Runnin' Utes first bested Washington State 77-63 before dominating Washington 86-61. With Utah only playing UW at home this season, the 2022-23 squad is just the third team to complete the season sweep of the Washington schools – joining the 2016-17 and 2017-18 teams who went 4-0 those seasons.
Â
BC EARNS PAC-12 POW
After averaging 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals to go with a .724 (21-of-29) shooting clip in the two games last week Utah center Branden Carlson was named Pac-12 Player of the Week.
Â
It was the first player of the week honor for the 7-footer and joins Rollie Worster as the second Ute to earn the accolade this season. This is the first time since the 2019-20 season that the Utes have earned this award at least twice and with two different players in a single-season. It just the fourth time Utah has had multiple player of the week accolades in a single season since joining the league in 2011-12.
Â
The South Jordan, Utah, product opened the week with a career-high 28 points – the third time this season he's bested his previous career-high – against Washington State going a near perfect 11-of-12 from the floor with eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks. His only miss came from beyond the arc that night, finishing 3-of-4 from 3-point range. He also became the eighth player in Pac-12 history to score 28-plus points with 10-plus field-goals and a 90-percent shooting clip since 1996-97- joining Todd MacCulloch 2x, Jason Collins, Bryce Taylor, Quincy Pondexter, Jamal Bey and Christian Koloko.
Â
Carlson once again had a dominant night versus Washington on Saturday, scoring a game-high 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting with eight rebounds, three blocks and a new career-high three steals.
He became the first Runnin' Ute to score 25-plus points in consecutive games since Andrew Bogut did so during the 2004-05 season while also becoming the first Ute to score 20-plus points in three-straight games since Timmy Allen in 2019-20.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Utah led the Washington wire-to-wire last Saturday in one of its most complete games this season in its 86-61 victory over the Huskies. Branden Carlson led a quartet of players in double-figures with 25 points on eight rebounds. Marco Anthony had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting while Rollie Worster flirted with a triple-double once again – this time posting 11 points and 10 assists with nine rebounds. Gabe Madsen rounded this out with 17 points behind three baskets from 3-point range. As a team, the Utes held an 18-8 edge in points off turnovers and 25-13 edge in second-change points on top of a 48-22 differential in points in the paint.
Â
UP NEXT
Utah closes out the road swing against Oregon on Saturday, Jan. 28, for a 6 p.m. (MT) battle inside Matthew Knight Arena. Ted Robinson and Bill Walton will have that call for fans on Pac-12 Networks as Utah looks to secure its first win in Eugene since Dec. 29, 2017.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
The Runnin' Utes return home for a three-game homestand the following week starting with Stanford on Thursday, Feb. 2, for a 6 p.m. (MT) tip for its MUSS appreciation game before welcoming in California for a Sunday matinee tilt at 4 p.m. for its Salute to Service Game.
