Utah is shooting 45.5 percent from the field and outrebounded Washington State 15-10 in the opening period.
Coming off the bench, Brandon Taylor is leading the Utes in scoring with 10 points.

Another slow ugly agonizing loss in the making for the Utes.
15 more minutes until the big game against St. Mary's! Hoping the Cougars have their A game tonight!
Go Cougars!
Way too many turnovers. Utah struggles on offense already, we can't afford to sacrifice possessions like this and expect to have a chance to win. Hopefully Ladd cools down as well. There is no defense for shooting like that.
