COUGARS

from B1

The Utes, who dress just one senior, lost their Pac-12 opener on Dec. 31 at Colorado, 73-33. In this game, their defense and tenacity chasing loose balls kept it close, even when they couldn't hit shots.

For just the third time this season, Utah led at halftime. Watkins scored 10 points, and the Utes had 10 points off Washington State turnovers to help stake a 29-23 advantage at intermission.

But the Utes committed turnovers on their first three possessions of the second half. Cedric Martin's tip-in gave Utah its last lead of regulation at 34-33 with 14:33 to play. Abe Lodwick sparked a quick 6-0 run for WSU, and the Utes had to play catch-up until the final minute.

Washington State plays at Colorado on Saturday.
