Gritty Utah State digs itself too big of a hole to rally from in NCAA Tournament loss to No. 1 seed Arizona

Despite finding themselves down by 18 points early in the second half of Sunday night’s second-round game against No. 1 seed Arizona, Utah State clawed its way back into the game with its defense and …

SAN DIEGO — For a few brief moments, the ninth-seeded Aggies caught a glimpse of advancing to the Sweet Sixteen next weekend up the road in San Jose.

Despite finding themselves down by 18 points early in the second half of Sunday night’s second-round game against No. 1 seed Arizona, Utah State clawed its way back into the game with its defense and managed to close the gap to just four points on three occasions.

But each time the Aggies got to within a couple of scores, the feisty Wildcats scored on their subsequent possessions to keep their opponents at bay and eventually ended Utah State’s season with a 78-66 victory at Viejas Arena.

“It hurts. I don’t want to take the uniform off,” USU graduate guard Drake Allen said quietly. “Knowing it’s going to be my last time wearing it means so much. And it really feels like a family. Everybody in Logan feels like one big family.”

Utah State (29-7) might have been able to get over the hump were not for a brutal performance from the 3-point line. But after going 1 for 12 from long distance in the first half, the Aggies finished just 8 for 32 from beyond the 3-point arc.

“When you can’t find it — the ball won’t go in from 3 — you’ve got to get to the rim,” USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said. “And I was really proud of our effort around the rim. I thought we were pretty efficient.

“But to beat a No. 1 seed when you’re a No. 9 seed, you’ve got to make those 3s. And our guys knew that.”

The Aggies knew that going up against the significantly larger Wildcats (34-2) was going to be a challenge, but Calhoun’s crew still ended up with three more field goals than Arizona and Utah State (39.1%) notched an overall field goal percentage that was nearly identical to that of the Cats (39.3%).

But in addition to a rough night from 3-point range, the Aggies were outrebounded by a stunning 54-26 margin, and the Wildcats also shot 28 more free throws.

“So far, they’re 2-0 in this tournament, and they live in the paint,” Calhoun said of Arizona. “They chew the paint up. They play ’80s, ’90s basketball. The number of physical plays in the game — we haven’t seen that all year.

“… But our guys did a tremendous job, I thought, the last nine minutes of really locking in on some of those details. You’ve got to be at least eight or 10 difference in the rebounding. It can’t be 28. And if you’re not going to rebound, you’ve got to make shots. So, it was just a couple of margins that we couldn’t overcome.”

Senior forward Garry Clark came off the bench to give the Aggies a huge lift, going 6 of 8 from the field, scoring 13 points and snagging six rebounds in just 18 minutes. Senior guard MJ Collins Jr. (12 points) and Allen (11 points) were the only other USU players to score in double figures.

The Aggies’ one-two scoring punch of Collins and junior guard Mason Falslev (8 points) went a combined 7 of 26 from the field and 4 of 15 from 3-point range in the loss.

Thanks to Clark, Utah State’s bench outscored Arizona’s 27-10. But then, the Wildcats’ starters totaled 68 points by themselves, with guards Jaden Bradley (18 points) and Brayden Burries (16 points) leading the way.

Burries also delivered one of the biggest blows to the Aggies’ chances of an upset with 2:18 left and Utah State still within six points. The freshman guard buried a 3-pointer with 6-foot-9 USU wing Adlan Elamin closing in on him, extending Arizona’s advantage to 73-64.

“Obviously, Burries’ 3 was a dagger,” Calhoun declared. “I thought we played that possession really well. It was just a six-point game. … There’s a lot of plays through a 40-minute game that could impact it. And I thought that 3 by him was just a big-time shot in a big moment, and that kind of carried Arizona to the win.”

Burries ended up going 3 of 3 from 3-point range while the rest of the Wildcats went 4 of 13 from long range.

“I think Brayden’s a winner, and he has ultimate confidence,” Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd said. “It’s been a joy to coach him. … He’s a laid-back, kind-of-unassuming guy, but he has a killer in him. And that’s a beautiful attribute.”

The Wildcats, who have won 11 straight games, also got 14 points from freshman forward Koa Peat, and 11 points and 14 rebounds from junior Motiejust Krivas. The 7–foot-2 center blocked three shots, caused the Aggies’ offense and all sorts of problems and went 7 of 8 from the free-throw line to help Arizona advance to the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in Lloyd’s five seasons in Tucson.

Conversely, Utah State still hasn’t won two games in the same NCAA Tournament since 1970. But despite never holding the lead — Burries buried a 3-pointer just 24 seconds into the game — trailing 33-24 at halftime and falling behind by 18 points early in the second half, the Aggies still gave their fans hope.

After a 10-foot jumpier by Burries forced Calhoun into calling a timeout with his team trailing 51-33 with 14:43 left, Utah State turned up the intensity defensively, holding Arizona without a field goal for over seven minutes while creating turnovers with its full-court defense.

Two free throws by Elamin pulled the Aggies to within 56-51 at the 7:22 mark, and a 3-pointer by Allen closed the gap to just four points a minute later. But a putback by Krivas — one of Arizona’s 21 offensive rebounds — stretched the Cats’ lead back to 60-54.

Two more free throws from Elamin got USU back to four points once again, but those two points were offset when Arizona finally broke the Aggies’ press, leading to a 3-point play by Bradley. Following a missed 3-pointer by USU forward Karson Templin, Falslev came up with one of his three steals, which led to the Aggies getting back to within four points for a third and final time.

Allen enjoyed the moment, turning towards the Aggies’ fan section to celebrate Utah State getting back to 63-59 with just over five minutes to go. But his joy was short-lived, and USU’s momentum soon disappeared when Bradley scored the next three points of the game.

Although Allen did managed to slice through Arizona’s big men for a layup that left Utah State down 66-61, four free throws by Krivas and Burries’ clutch 3-pointer carried Arizona to the victory and brought Utah State’s spectacular season to an end.

“I think it’s very hard for a season to end anytime; it just comes abruptly,” Calhoun noted. “Its one of those things that you don’t ever want to end. You just want to coach these guys another day, another game.

“We wanted to get to San Jose, but we weren’t able to do it.”

Arizona beats Utah State, will face Arkansas in Sweet 16

Big 12 Player of the Year Jaden Bradley scored 12 of his 18 points in the 2nd half, leading top seed Arizona past Utah State 78-66 and into Sweet 16 …

Jaden Bradley scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half to lead Arizona past Utah State.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jaden Bradley scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, Motiejus Krivas had 11 points and 14 rebounds and top-seeded Arizona beat No. 9-seeded Utah State 78-66 on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in five seasons under coach Tommy Lloyd.

The Wildcats (34-2) take an 11-game winning streak into Thursday’s game against No. 4-seeded Arkansas in the West Region in San Jose.

The Wildcats will be looking to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since doing so in both 2014 and 2015. They began their March Madness run by breezing to an opening 92-58 victory over Long Island on Friday.

Arizona, which won the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles, led the whole way in front of a loud, red-clad contingent of fans that made it feel like a home game some 400 miles from campus.

But the Aggies (29-7), who won the Mountain West regular-season and tournament championships, didn’t fold despite trailing 51-33 five minutes into the second half after giving up a 9-0 run.

The Wildcats then went cold from the field and the Aggies pulled to 58-54 on a 3-pointer by Drake Allen.

It was 60-56 when Bradley, the Big 12 player of the year, finished a fast break with a high bank shot, was fouled and converted the three-point play for a seven-point lead.

Allen hit a 3-pointer for the Aggies before Bradley answered with a jumper and a free throw on consecutive possessions.

Brayden Burries had 16 points and nine rebounds for Arizona, while Koa Peat had 14 points and 10 boards.

Led by the 7-foot-2 Krivas, the Wildcats outrebounded the Aggies 54-26.

Garry Clark scored 13 for Utah State, MJ Collins had 12 and Allen 11. Mason Falslev, the Mountain West player of the year, was held to eight points.

Utah wins 2nd straight Big 12 championship, Avery Neff claims all-around title

Utah opened the meet with a 49.375 on vault, which was a solid foundation to build from. Makenna Smith led the way on the event, as she hammered home a beautiful stuck vault to record a 9.95 that …

Another day, another conference championship.

Utah’s gymnastics team is really good at winning conference titles and added another trophy to its case Saturday as its championship streak in the Big 12 moved to two in a row since joining the league.

While this title wasn’t the easiest to win, it seemed fitting to be part of a season that hasn’t been the easiest for the Red Rocks either.

Final results saw No. 12 Utah on top with a 197.675, followed by No. 23 Denver at 196.575, No. 24 BYU with 196.175 and Arizona at 194.725 in the second session.

“Super proud of this team tonight. Winning the conference championships is not something you could take for granted, and this team fought the entire night to stay in the meet,” said Red Rocks coach Carly Dockendorf.

Utah opened the meet with a 49.375 on vault, which was a solid foundation to build from. Makenna Smith led the way on the event, as she hammered home a beautiful stuck vault to record a 9.95 that eventually earned her the event title.

Unlike recent meets, the Red Rocks were unable to carry over momentum and fell a bit flat on bars (49.05), which is usually one of their best events.

The judges weren’t much help either in what proved a tightly scored event all night. It wasn’t a bad rotation, but Avery Neff was the only Utah gymnast to go 9.9 or higher, while stalwart Ana Padurariu fell and didn’t finish.

“(Padurariu) is fine,” Dockendorf said. “I think it was the adrenaline, the lights and the noise, and there was no point in her finishing it because she was a little bit lightheaded, but she’s fine.”

Meanwhile, Denver put together a strong floor set to catapult from third to first after two rotations. The Pioneers led the Red Rocks 98.475-98.425 with Utah rotating to beam.

For the Red Rocks, beam has been up and down this season with recent meets not finding the usual success. But that didn’t happen Saturday as Utah strung together a beautiful set that earned it a 49.525 to take back and build out a strong lead at 147.95-147.475.

The beam set was a pressure set considering the Red Rocks were behind and they were without Padurariu. Neff and Camie Winger highlighted the set, with Neff recording a 9.925 before Winger hit a stunning routine for a 9.975 in the anchor position after all of her teammates hit.

The score earned her a beam title.

“I was just kind of like, ‘OK, there’s not really that much pressure. Everyone did their job and now it’s just time for me to do mine,’ and I just went out there and just did the best I could,” Winger said.

Utah rolled from there, finishing up floor with a 49.725, which proved their second-best event total of the season (the best was a 49.75 on bars).

No score below 9.9 counted, and that was Zoe Johnson’s, who returned to her routine from last season and hit after Ashley Glynn fell in the leadoff spot.

Utah didn’t balk at the fall, and after Johnson, Neff tallied a 9.975, while Ella Zirbes, Smith and Sage Curtis added 9.95s.

Floor has been a roller coaster for Utah this season, with some big wins and some lower team scores.

“That’s the confidence we definitely needed on floor. Like, we can do anything we put our mind to on floor, and we are all that good on floor,” Neff said. “There’s no reason to be doubting ourselves, really on any event.”

Neff finished the night by winning the all-around, bars and floor.

BYU

The Cougars did not get the start they wanted, sitting in fourth after bars and beam to start the meet, but they posted their second-best floor set of the season with a 49.475 and finished strong on vault at 49.025 to move into third.

Scarlett Sonnenberg (9.925) and Daisy Stephenson (9.925) hit career-bests, while Brynlee Andersen-Broekman tied hers at 9.9 in the first half of BYU’s floor lineup.

Sonnenberg’s effort helped her tie for second overall on the event, and Andersen-Broekman also added a 9.9 on beam to lead BYU.

“I saw on bars and beam there was just a lot of fight,” said BYU coach Guard Young. “They weren’t giving up, but it just wasn’t flowing and we needed to turn that fight and grit into fire.

“That’s what I told them in the huddle, and then it was a floor party, and you know, a great end.”

Big 12 awards

Neff was named Big 12 Gymnast of the Year, while Padurariu earned Event Specialist of the Year. Both have been dominant in events this season, pushing each other to big scores.

Denver’s Shyla Bhatia is Newcomer of the Year, and Arizona’s Gianna Lenczner is Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

BYU’s Young was recognized as Coach of the Year.

“It’s just a tremendous honor because that’s a voting thing from your peers,” Young said. “It’s an award that’s not a head coaches award but a coaching staff award, so I couldn’t do it without Natalie (Broekman) and Brogan (Evanson).

“They’ve been by my side for 11 years now. The support staff and BYU administration have all been great, and new coach McKenna Giles (who competed collegiately at Utah) has been such a great addition.”

Team finishes

First — Utah; 197.675.

Second — Denver; 196.575.

Third — BYU; 196.175.

Fourth — Arizona State; 195.225.

Arizona is 1-4 against Utah State, but has only played the Aggies once in the past 62 years, when the Wildcats beat them 66-53 in a first-round NCAA Tournament game in 2005.

Utah State vs. Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 84, Utah State 74

No interest; PASS.

Utah State is 6-1 ATS in neutral-site games.

The Aggies don’t have the big-brand cache, but they are a top-30 team in efficiency rankings. Utah State is a veteran team with decent depth, and the team’s both-ends-of-the-floor efficiency numbers have been solid when playing away from home. The Aggies getting this one to the finish line with a single-digit deficit would not be a surprise.

Arizona does have systemic talent edges just about everywhere, but peg the Wildcats as being due some regression in a couple key spots. January and February Big 12 games against the likes of the Baylor Bears, BYU Cougars, Cincinnati Bearcats, Kansas Jayhawks and UCF Knights spell decent comps for this one. UA went 3-4 ATS in 7 games against those foes during that stretch, and in this one the Wildcats are catching a USU team playing with some confidence.

Consider a partial-unit play on UTAH STATE +11.5 (-106).

The Over is 4-1 across Arizona’s last 5 games and 9-4 in Utah State’s last 13.

The expected pace here figures as slightly faster than average. So, more possessions with some solid potential for a lot of clock-stopped, uncontested 15-footers (free throws). And look for Arizona to get a decent chunk of second-chance points. USU has finished games well lately; a close-enough late charge may well help the Aggies win on the ATS side and push this total past the profit point.

BACK THE OVER 154.5 (-115).

Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report Rules Out 11 Players

The Utah Jazz are in the home stretch for their 2025-26 season, and have the Philadelphia 76ers on tap for this weekend as they continue their extended home stand.

But in the process of the second matchup of the season between these two sides, both will be dealing with some key injuries in the process––many of which will shake up each team’s typical rotation headed into the night.

Let’s unpack the injury reports for both the Jazz and 76ers for Saturday night:

Utah Jazz Injury Report

OUT – Isaiah Collier (hamstring)

OUT – Keyonte George (hamstring)

OUT – Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee)

OUT – Walker Kessler (shoulder)

OUT – Lauri Markkanen (hip)

OUT – Jusuf Nurkic (nose)

OUT – Brice Sensabaugh (illness)

QUESTIONABLE – John Konchar (quad)

In all, seven names have been deemed out before gameday, including four of the Jazz’s five typical starters, along with a couple of their key young pieces in the rotation as well.

Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh come in as the most eye-catching. Collier is listed out with a sore hamstring for his second straight game, making for another rare absence from what he’s been used to so far this season.

As for Sensabaugh, he’ll be out for a second consecutive game as well after being sidelined against the Milwaukee Bucks, leaving the Jazz’s budding one-two punch in the backcourt set to be forced off to the side for yet another night.

John Konchar, the Jazz’s veteran wing acquired at the deadline from the Memphis Grizzlies, will also be listed as questionable before tip-off with a quad injury.

Konchar has missed four of his last five games with Utah after filling in as a consistent depth piece on the wing since his trade in February, and could now extend that absence one more game, depending on how his status shifts.

With the Jazz are extremely hobbled, it’ll leave guys like Ace Bailey and Cody Williams with a large piece of the pie offensively, similar to what was seen in their latest 30-plus point blowout over the Bucks that they’ll still be riding high from entering their matchup against Philly.

Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report

OUT – Joel Embiid (oblique)

OUT – Tyrese Maxey (finger)

OUT – Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow

OUT – Johni Broome (knee)

Philadelphia won’t be without some key injuries on their behalf as well, the biggest being to their star duo of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, each out with their multiple-week injuries that they’ve been facing long before this one against the Jazz.

Paul George will also remain out due to his 25-game suspension that hit back in January, and thus leaves a big opportunity on the table for VJ Edgecombe, the 76ers’ star rookie guard who was absent in their last meeting against the Jazz, to have a big night as Philadelphia looks to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference standings.

Tip-off between the Jazz and 76ers lands at 7 p.m. MT at the Delta Center, where Utah could very well be staring down a two-straight win, depending on how unique things turn out between both teams beaten down due to injury.
