SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Alfonso Plummer scored 21 points, Timmy Allen added 14, and Utah used an 18-0 run midway through the second half to pull away for a 76-62 win over Washington in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both schools. Utah finally got on the court after having several early-season games canceled due to COVID-19 issues in the Utes program. Quade Green tied his career-high with 21 points, but the Huskies continued to struggle at the offensive end. It’s the first 0-3 start for Washington since the 2002-03 season.

Former Lynden Christian High School star Cole Bajema had a late hoop in the game for the Huskies.
