Runnin' Utes Suffer First Loss in Pac-12 Play
1/7/2023 8:42 PM | Men's Basketball
The Utah men’s basketball team had a tough shooting night and suffered its first loss of Pac-12 play to Oregon, 70-60.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team dropped its first Pac-12 game of the 2022-23 season Saturday night against Oregon, 70-60.
The 5-0 start for Utah was the best start in conference play for the Utes since joining the Pac-12 in 2011-12. The five-game win-streak in league play is also tied for second most since joining the Pac-12, matching streaks done by the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2017-18 teams.
Utah was fortunate to just trail 34-27 at the break after shooting just .267 (8-for-30) and 1-of-11 from 3-point range. The visiting Ducks of Oregon got off to a hot start and led by as much as 14 points (27-13) with 5:01 left to play. The Runnin' Utes (12-5, 5-1 Pac-12) finally settled in the final 3:32 minutes and closed out the half on a 12-5 run.
Marco Anthony opened the second stanza for Utah scoring Utah's first six points to keep the Utes within striking distance before Lazar Stefanovic poured in seven-straight points to close the gap to 43-41. However, the Ducks (9-7, 3-2 Pac-12) pushed their lead back up to 56-44 with a run of their own.
The Runnin' Utes didn't back down and brought the UO lead back down to 56-51 left to go but the Ducks answered immediately out of the 4:39 media timeout and extended its lead back up to 63-51 to give itself some cushion over the Utes.
Another run for Utah, this time a 7-0 spurt, cut Oregon's lead down to 63-58 with 2:07 left in the game. However, the Runnin' Utes couldn't quite complete the comeback and fell to the Ducks 70-60.
Anthony finished a team-high 15 points and 10 rebounds for his seventh-career double-double while Stefanovic wrapped up his night with 13 points, four assists and a career-high three steals. Branden Carlson posted 10 points on nine rebounds to round out the double-digit scorers for Utah.
BY THE NUMBERS
Utah is now 2-22 against Oregon all-time since joining the Pac-12 in 2011-12 … per Basketball-Reference, the .143 shooting percentage from 3-point range is the tied for the 11th lowest 3FG% in a game since 2010-11 … Utah saw Oregon turn 14 turnovers into a 20-5 edge against the Utes.
UP NEXT
The Utes now hit the road to Southern California for a pair of games against the LA schools. First up for Utah will be #10/8 UCLA on Thursday, Jan. 12, at 9 p.m. (MT) with Ted Robinson and Bill Walton on the Pac-12 Networks broadcast before battling the Trojans of USC on Saturday, Jan. 14, at 8:30 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks.
