Video: Utah Men’s Basketball Defeats Cincinnati At Home

In a gritty, physical game, it was Utah’s free throw shooting of all things that led them to a 69-66 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats. The Utes improve their record to 12-8, 4-5, and now sit 10th in the Big 12 Conference.

Given their struggles from the line this season, Utah’s 12-of-15 shooting in the second half was the difference.

Utah was led by Gabe Madsen, who seemed to find a groove tonight. He finished with 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting but went 7-of-8 from the charity stripe.

This was a physical game, perhaps even a little chippy, but Utah got it done tonight.
