SALT LAKE CITY â Junior Parker Van Dyke scored a career-high 18 points, while leading the Utah Runnin' Utes to an 84-78 Pac-12 Conference victory over the UCLA Bruins, Thursday evening at the Huntsman Center.
Utah, who won for the fifth straight game, moved to 18-9 overall and 10-6 in the Pac-12 Conference standings. UCLA dropped to 19-9 overall and 10-6 in conference play. Both teams are currently tied for third-place in the league standings, behind first-place Arizona (12-3) and second-place USC (11-5).
HOW THEY WON
Utah erased an early seven-point deficit, shooting a season-high 64.3 percent from the field in the first half, to take a 47-40 lead into halftime. The Utes led by as many as 14 points early in the second half and then had to hold off a ferocious Bruin comeback, but capped off the win with a late three-pointer from Van Dyke and crucial free throws from both Justin Bibbins and Van Dyke with less than 10 seconds to play in the game.
Utah led by six points with 41 seconds left to play, up 78-72 following Van Dyke's three-pointer as the shot clock was winding down, but UCLA's Gyorgy Goloman drained a three-pointer to cut the lead to just three points with 35 seconds left on the clock. Bibbins drained both of his free throw attempts at the 22-second mark, but again UCLA knocked down a three-pointer â this time from Aaron Holiday â with 9.4 seconds left to play, making it an 80-78 lead for the Utes.
Bibbins was fouled on the ensuing inbounds play, but once more, the senior drained both attempts from the charity stripe to put the Utes up by four points, 82-78. With six seconds showing on the clock, Holiday's three-point attempt was off the mark and Utah secured the rebound. Van Dyke was fouled and he calmly drained both attempts to seal the win.
STAT OF THE GAME
Utah forced 13 UCLA turnovers and then turned those miscues into 17 points on the evening. UCLA finished the game scoring just two points off 10 Utah turnovers.
WHO STOOD OUT
Van Dyke scored a career-high 18 points, surpassing his previous career-high mark of 16 points that he tallied against Washington last season, back on Feb. 11, 2017. He finished the night 6-of-12 from the field, 4-of-10 from three-point range and was a perfect 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
David Collette scored a team-high 21 points on 9-of-9 shooting from the field and a 3-of-5 effort from the charity stripe. The senior has tallied an 87.5 field goal shooting percentage over the past five games, going 35-of-40 overall from the field.
Bibbins registered his third double-double of the season, scoring 17 points and dishing out 10 assists. This marks the second time that Bibbins has tallied a double-double with double-figure efforts in both scoring and assists.
