Ah, just what the doctor ordered.
After 3 bitter conference defeats, Utah rebounded strongly by dominating Texas Christian Saturday afternoon 74-58 at the Huntsman Center. It was an important win for Utah, one that gets their season back on track. Utah also matched its win total from all of last season, where they finished the season 11-19.
Johnnie Bryant led the Utes with 24 points and a school-record 8 three pointers, while Luke Drca dished out a career high 10 assists. The victory pulls Utah to within 1 game of .500 in conference and hopefully leads to a run here to end the first half of the conference season.
