Last Time Out
Utah came up just short in its try at winning a third-straight at home, falling 68-64 to No. 9 Arizona. After falling behind by as many as 13, the Utes responded to tie the score before eventually succumbing.
Jarred DuBois (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jarred_dubois_799207.html) led Utah with 16 points, while Jason Washburn (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jason_washburn_362936.html) added 15 points and seven rebounds. Freshman Jeremy Olsen (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jeremy_olsen_450217.html) matched his career-highs in points (12) and rebounds (6), playing only 15 minutes off the bench. Freshman Dakarai Tucker (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/dakarai_tucker_811553.html) also had his best outing in league play, knocking down two crucial three-pointers.
The Utes, who were coming off a win over Arizona State, used a 12-2 run to erase a double-digit deficit and tie things coming down the stretch. Utah came in as the conference's leader in defensive field goal percentage, but the Wildcats shot an efficient 50 percent (11-of-22) from the field in the first half, then made their first four shots after the break to build a 41-28 advantage, their largest of the game.
Last Meeting
Brandon Taylor (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/brandon_taylor_799211.html) drew a charge with 9.7 seconds left and Glen Dean (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/glen_dean_752696.html) hit a pair of free throws on the other end to help Utah survive a late rally and upset Colorado 58-55.Washburn scored 13 points and collected 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double in conference play while Olsen added a career-high 12 points off the bench on 6-of-8 shooting.
Cedric Martin (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/cedric_martin_752359.html) tallied 11 points and Jarred DuBois (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jarred_dubois_799207.html) scored 10 points to help the Utes snap a two-game losing slide. Spencer Dinwiddie had 18 points while Andre Roberson chipped in 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Buffaloes. Utah opened up a 49-27 lead with 12:28 remaining in the game but Colorado went on a 22-3 to trim the gap to a single point, 54-53 with 1:45 to play.
Washburn Working Way Up Charts
Washburn has notched double-doubles in four conference games and is averaging 14.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while shooting 54 percent from the field. He currently ranks eighth in the league in rebounding, fifth in field-goal percentage and blocks.
Washburn is closing his Utah career with a flourish, scoring in double figures during 14 of the last 16 contests. He has now scored 974 points in his 115 career games. He is currently averaging 12.1 points per game after scoring at a career-best clip of 11.4 points per contest last year.
The Michigan native is ranked 15th in the nation when it comes to field goal percentage. Washburn is connecting on 57.6 percent of his attempts for the season after 60 percent shooting the last two weeks.
Loveridge Making Impact
Jordan Loveridge (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jordan_loveridge_799209.html) has emerged as one of the top freshmen in the Pac-12 Conference. Despite this being his first year, Loveridge is currently one of the league leaders in scoring (11.7) and rebounding (6.6).
The local product is fourth among conference newcomers in scoring and second in rebounding. The freshman poured in a career-best 24 points vs. Cal State Northridge and his points per game average ranks him fifth all-time for a Utah freshman, behind such greats as Keith Van Horn and Andrew Bogut (http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/andrew_bogut_73116.html).
Taylor Turning it Up
Taylor has come on strong for Utah during the conference season, scoring a career-high 21 points at Oregon State. Prior to that, the freshman had scored in double figures during three-straight games (Washington, Stanford and Cal), averaging 14.0 ppg during that span.

He currently ranks as one of the league leaders in three-point field goal percentage (.359) and is also averaging 3.4 assists the last five games.
DuBois Getting it Done for Utes

He has scored in double figures four of the last five games and Sunday marked the first time DuBois led the team in scoring since notching 18 vs. USC (1/12/13).
DuBois has been one of the league's top sharpshooters, ranking fourth in the Pac-12 in three-point shooting percentage (.417). He also ranks second in the conference in free-throw percentage (92.9).
DuBois has been a steadying influence for the Ute backcourt as well, ranking fifth in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio. He also rates as one of the league leaders in total helpers (3.1 apg), tops among the Utes.
