SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Branden Carlson scored 25 points on 10-for-17 shooting, Rollie Worster finished with a rebound for a triple-double and Utah never trailed Saturday night in its 86-61 over Washington.
Carlson had eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks and Worster had 11 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Marco Anthony won the battle with Worster for a rebound, without a Washington player around, with about a minute left, prompting boos from the crowd.
Anthony scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season, and Gabe Madsen had 17 points for Utah (14-7, 7-3 Pac-12).
Madsen scored in the lane and Carlson recovered his own error to make it 4-0. Wilguens Exacte Jr. hit a 3-pointer with 11:36 left that sparked a 15-0 run. Madsen scored eight straight points to cap the run, making a pair of 3-pointers 26 seconds apart to give the Runnin’ Utes a 32-13 lead less than three minutes later.
Keion Brooks Jr. led Washington (12-9, 4-6) with 17 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. Cole Bajema scored 13 points, sinking three 3-pointers, and Noah Williams added 10 points.
Utah went 35-of-58 (51.5%) from the field, hit 7-of-15 (46.7%) from 3-point range and outrebounded the Huskies 48-30. The Utes scored 48 points in the paint and outscored Washington 18-8 in points off turnovers, of which each team committed 11.
