SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Utah has turned the tables on the Pac-12.
During their first year in the league, the Utes struggled to score points and stay competitive against virtually every team they faced. These days, it’s the rest of the Pac-12 struggling to keep pace with Utah.
Colorado became the latest Pac-12 team to be overwhelmed. No. 9 Utah used stifling defense and efficient transition offense to run away from the Buffaloes for a 74-49 victory on Wednesday night.
“We got in the passing lanes,” senior point guard Delon Wright said. “We made smart decisions on offense.”
Brandon Taylor scored 14 points and Wright added 13 points, six assists and four steals to help Utah (13-2, 3-0 Pac-12) win its sixth straight. Dakarai Tucker added 11 off the bench for the Utes.
