Balanced Attack Sees Utah Basketball Power Past Trailblazers 84-53
11/22/2024 7:02 PM | Men's Basketball
A quartet of players for Utah recorded double-digit points in 84-53 victory against Utah Tech.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team returned to the win column on Friday inside the Huntsman Center as it dismantled Utah Tech 84-53.
Utah (4-1) got test early in the first half after going up 8-0 to start the contest as Utah Tech answered with an 11-2 run to take an 11-10 lead – which was the first time the Utes trailed at home so far this season. However, a quick 9-0 spurt followed nine-straight points from Keanu Dawes shortly thereafter sent Utah into the break ahead 42-26.
Utah really broke the game open out of the 14:43 media timeout in the second frame behind a 16-5 that put the Runnin' Utes ahead 68-41 with 7:55 left to play. The Utes would unload their bench with 2:01 left to go and held the Trailblazers (1-4) to just 1-of-4 shooting in that remaining time.
Gabe Madsen once again led all scorers with 19 points on 8-for-17 shooting with a pair of steals. Dawes was once again excellent off the bench for the Utes with a season-high 14 points and 9 boards on 6-of-9 shooting. Mason Madsen finished with 12 points – all of which came in the second half. Mike Sharavjamts rounded things out for the Utes with 10 points, 4 boards and 5 assists.
