In their last game against the Cougars, the Utes secured a narrow victory with 73 points over their opponent's 69. Their field goal percentage was impressive at 49 percent, and they were particularly effective from inside the arc with a two-point percentage of 65 percent. The team also demonstrated solid defensive capabilities with five blocks and four steals.


Prior to that win, the Utes faced off against Southern Utah Thunderbirds and came out on top with an even more convincing scoreline of 88-86. They showcased an exceptional shooting performance from two-point range at 63 percent and maintained a field goal percentage above half at 54 percent.


Going back further, we see that this winning streak is part of a pattern for the Utes; they defeated Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors scoring 79 points to their opponent's 66. Once again, they showed proficiency in shooting with an overall field goal percentage of approximately 53 percent and excelled in free throws making over four-fifths of their attempts.


The upcoming game promises to be another test for this high-scoring offense as they take on local rivals in what is expected to be a charged atmosphere at Jon M. Huntsman Center—a venue known for its passionate fan base which could provide additional momentum for the home team.


The match is scheduled for December 16th at nine o'clock PM Eastern Time (ET). Fans eager to catch every play can tune into Pac-12 Network where all action will be broadcasted live from Salt Lake City.
