Crisp was 5 of-7 and Carter 3 of 4 from beyond the arc and the Husky defense held the Utes to season low in points. Jayce Johnson led the Utes with 12 points before leaving the game in the fi nal minutes after getting hit in the face and falling to the court. Donnie Till- man had 10 for the Utes, who missed 24 of their 30 3-point attempts.

PAC-12 HOOPS UCLA Oregon 87 84 Jaylen Hands added 16 points and hit the go-ahead jumper with 47 seconds left for the Bruins (10-6, 3-0), who won in Eugene for the fi rst time in fi ve years. Moses Brown, who had 10 points and 11 rebounds, made one of two free throws for the fi nal point. UCLA trailed by 17 in the second half Washington Utah 69 53 Both teams were knocked from their normal offensive fl ows by the defensive pressure at times. The Utes also played man-to-man defense but the Huskies stuck with their trade- mark zone and extended it to chase the Utes off the 3-point line or force awkward attempts. The Huskies’ quick hands and length created dozens of defl ections, forced 16 turn- overs and nine blocked shots. The Utes were determined to pass into the middle of the zone but even when the ball got there, they often couldn’t navi- gate the gauntlet of collapsing defenders.

That storyline plagued the Bull- dogs once again Thursday night as they dropped a 42-33 Mid-Co- lumbia Conference match to host Hanford, and a 47-22 match to Kamiakin. “We have a lot of work to do,” Hermiston coach Kyle Larson said. “In the Hanford dual, we lost six matches and got pinned in every one of them.
