SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Bangot Dak scored a career-high 22 points and grabbed
10 rebounds and Colorado withstood Utah's second-half shooting barrage to beat
the Utes 92-78 on Tuesday.
It was the 7-foot Dak's fifth double-double of the season and second this year
against Utah. Isaiah Johnson also scored 22 points, Barrington Hargress scored
19 points and Jalin Holland 11 for Colorado (17-13, 7-10 Big 12).
Terrence Brown scored 26 points and Don McHenry 19 for Utah (10-20, 2-15).
A 13-13 contest with 14:46 left before halftime became one-sided as the Buffs
went on to dominate and posted a 51-26 lead at halftime, shooting 67.9% (19 of
28) before intermission. Utah meanwhile shot 34.5% (10 of 29) and missed all
nine 3-point attempts.
The Utes turned it around after the break and shot 73.9% (17 of 23) including
85.7% (6 of 7) from 3-point range and got back in it. McHenry's three-point
play brought Utah within 69-60 with 8:58 remaining.
Colorado responded with Holland making a pair of foul shots, Dak made four
straight and then a tip-in layup and Colorado stayed ahead by double digits the
rest of the way.
