Utah Survives Butler's Late Rally

Utah Edges Out Butler in Nail-Biting Non-Conference Showdown

SALT LAKE CITY — December 2, 2023 — In a thrilling non-conference matchup, the University of Utah Runnin’ Utes held off a late surge from the Butler Bulldogs to secure a hard-fought 72-68 victory at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on Saturday night.

Game Highlights

The Utes (6-1) came out strong in the first half, led by junior guard Gabe Madsen, who poured in 18 points, including four three-pointers. Utah’s defense stifled Butler (5-3) early, forcing 10 turnovers and taking a 38-28 lead into halftime.

However, the Bulldogs refused to go quietly. Senior guard Pierre Brooks II ignited a second-half rally, scoring 14 of his team-high 20 points after the break. Butler cut the deficit to just two points with under a minute left, but clutch free throws from Utah’s Branden Carlson (15 points, 8 rebounds) sealed the win.

Key Performances

Utah: Gabe Madsen (18 pts, 4/7 3PT), Branden Carlson (15 pts, 8 reb), Rollie Worster (12 pts, 6 ast)

Butler: Pierre Brooks II (20 pts, 5 reb), Jahmyl Telfort (16 pts), DJ Davis (12 pts)

Coach’s Take

'Butler’s a tough, well-coached team, and they made us work for every basket,' said Utah head coach Craig Smith. 'I’m proud of our guys for staying composed down the stretch.'

Butler’s Thad Matta praised his team’s resilience: 'We dug ourselves a hole early, but we fought back. We just needed one more stop.'

What’s Next?

Utah looks to extend its winning streak when it faces BYU next weekend, while Butler returns home to take on California.

Final Score: Utah 72, Butler 68
