PULLMAN (AP) -- edrick
Barefield scored 33 points to lead Utah to a 92-79 victory over Washington
State on Saturday night.
Donnie Tillman added 16
points and 11 rebounds for Utah (15-12, 9-6 Pac-12). Parker Van Dyke had 17
points on 5-of-9 shooting from 3-point range.
Robert Franks scored 29
points with seven rebounds for Washington State (11-16, 4-10). CJ Elleby added
16 points and seven rebounds.
Utah led 45-43 at halftime
but broke things open early in the second half with a 6-0 run after Van Dyke knocked
down back-to-back 3-pointers within 40 seconds of each other, giving Utah a
64-50 advantage with 13:04 remaining.
Utah led by double digits
for most of the second half. The Cougars were able to get within eight points
in the last two minutes but were denied by clutch free-throw shooting from the
Utes.
Barefield, Van Dyke and
Both Gach made 10 of 12 free throws for the Utes in the last 2:35. Gach caught
a long pass down court from Charles Jones, and finished with a big dunk to seal
the victory with 52 seconds remaining.
BIG PICTURE
Utah: Gets back in the win
column after losing two games in a row to Arizona State and Washington. The win
comes at a crucial time with the Utes sitting just outside the top four seeds
in the Pac-12 standings.
Washington State: Is
starting to cool down after winning three out of their last four games. The
Cougars are in the bottom half of the conference standings, and with the
conference tournament nearing closer, tonight's loss shouldn't affect their
seeding drastically come tournament time.
UP NEXT:
Utah: Travels to play
Colorado next Saturday.
Washington State: Plays at
Stanford on Thursday.

BOULDER, Colo. – A tough night at elevation put an end to
Washington State's (9-17, 4-11) mini-winning streak as Colorado (12-14, 2-13)
pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 72-61 win in Boulder Friday night. Throughout
the night the Cougars never looked quite like the high flying offense of the
past two contests as their shots were just off the mark. Despite the offensive
woes the Cougs found themselves down just three heading into the fourth
quarter, but a six-minute field goal drought ended any hopes of a comeback for
WSU. While the Cougs shots were off the mark Colorado took advantage of the
glass to keep possessions alive while also bullying WSU in the paint to convert
points at the rim. In the end the Buffs outscored the Cougs 15-7 in the fourth
quarter with eight of the 15 points coming in the lane.
WSU Coach Kamie Ethridge
Quote
"Well we just got
outplayed. I don't even know what to say other than I am really disappointed in
our effort. We were terrible on the defensive end. We let them score in the
paint. We didn't rebound. We didn't run offense."
