SALT LAKE CITY — Jared DuBois scored 18 points and the Utah Utes shot a blistering 67 percent from the floor as they routed Boise State, 76-55, in the first game since legendary former coach Rick Majerus' death.
With a trademark Majerus sweater adorning the first seat on the home team's bench, the Utes flew out on a 20-2 run in the first half as DuBois and Jordan Loveridge led the way. The Utes led 41-25 at halftime.
Utah (6-2) continued to build its lead early in the second half as Utes guard Glen Dean scored six points in a 10-4 Utes run. Boise State (6-2) got no closer than 18 points for the rest of the game.
The Utes went 9-16 on three-point attempts and outrebounded the Broncos 28-16.
Jason Washburn added 13 points and six rebounds for the Utes. Derrick Marks scored 18 points to lead Boise State.

WOW!!! That was a dominant performance on both ends of the floor against a quality opponent. This team is getting better and better with each game. Majerus himself would have been proud of the Utes tonight.
We put on a shooting clinic tonight! It was a very fitting way to honor Majerus. And it was fun watching the game on the Pac 12 Network. Things are looking up (not that they had anywhere else to look)
Go UTES!!
Nice win Utah. Let's keep it going.
