SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team emerged from the clutches of defeat and secured a 92-89 overtime victory against Weber State inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center Saturday night.

Terrence Brown led the Runnin' Utes (2-0) with a career-high 36 points (13-of-23 FG), 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. Don McHenry, the other half of Utah's dynamic starting guard duo, netted a season-high 26 points in the contest to go along with 6 rebounds and an assist. Forward Keanu Dawes recorded his first double-double of the season with 11 points (4-of-7 FG) and 14 rebounds for this seventh-career double-double.

Dawes broke the seal 22 seconds into the game, drilling a three to start up the Utah offense and gave the team a 3-0 advantage.

A trey from McHenry at the 8:39 mark started up a streak of eight-consecutive field goals for Utah that capped off with a corner three from freshman forward Kendyl Sanders – which tied the game at 37-37 with 4:15 remaining in the half.

Minutes later, Brown knocked down two baskets from the charity stripe to close the frame as Utah trailed 49-42 heading into the break.

Down eight early in the second half, Utah shaved away the Wildcats' (1-1) advantage and got within 55-54 of Weber State on a driving layup from Brown at the 16:09 mark.

The Runnin' Utes remained within striking distance through the remainder of the frame, eventually finding themselves down three (84-81) with 12 seconds left in regulation.

A missed free throw from Weber State gave Utah a chance to send the game to overtime, which McHenry took full advantage of by draining a corner three to knot the game up at 84-84 – which electrified the Huntsman Center crowd.

Utah stuck first in the extra period with four-consecutive points from Brown to give the Utes an 88-84 lead.

The Runnin' Utes maintained their advantage through the final minutes of overtime as Brown willed the team to victory, scoring six of the Utah's eight points in OT to help it walk away victorious 92-89 over the Wildcats.
