Â
Â
Â
ALL BOARD THE KD EXPRESS
Utah sophomore Keanu Dawes has had back-to-back breakout games, scoring 16 points in both of them to help the Utes secure wins against Oklahoma State and on the road against TCU. In those two instances, Dawes came off the bench and provided an electric spark on offense and defense for the Utes.
Â
Â
WATCH OUT FOR WAHLIN
Since his reinsertion into the starting line-up, sophomore Jake Wahlin has been productive for the Utes. In the 7 games he has stated for Utah, Wahlin is averaging 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.9 steals with a .528 shooting clip.
Â
Â
SNAPPED
Utah's 73-65 win over TCU handed the Horned Frogs their first loss at home this season and snapped a nine-game winning-streak inside Schollmaier Arena. Utah also picked up its first win against TCU on the road since Jan. 22, 2011, when the two were in the Mountain West Conference 75-62.
Â
Additionally, the road teams are 19-22 so far through games on Jan. 15 in the Big 12 Conference.
Â
UP NEXT
No rest for the weary as Utah has yet another quick turnaround, this time heading to #10/8 Houston for a 6 p.m. (MST) battle on ESPN+. Pete Sousa and Mark Adams will guide fans through the action as the Runnin' Utes step foot inside the Fertitta Center for the first time in program history against the Cougars – who have won 32-consecutive home games as of Jan. 16, 2025.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
Utah then returns home for two games with #25/24 Baylor on tap first starting at 2:30 p.m. (MST) on Saturday, Jan. 25, as the Utes get their second look against the Bears. Dave Flemming will be on the call with former UCLA Bruin Sean Farnham in the nationally televised game on ESPN2 as the Utes look to avenge their Big 12 opening loss back on Dec. 31.
