Anigbata’s Second-Half Surge Sends Utah Past Weber State, 85-64

Utah’s dominant second half showed the Utes can flip momentum through interior scoring and bench depth.

Overview

  • Alec Anigbata scored 21 points with 16 coming after halftime as Utah rallied Tuesday to beat Weber State 85-64 at the Huntsman Center.
  • The Utes erased a 37-30 halftime deficit with a long unanswered run in the second half that AP described as 18-0 and KSL as 20-0, a minor reporting discrepancy that does not change the outcome.
  • Utah shot 71% after the break and, according to coverage, outscored Weber State 55-27 in the second half while improving its edge on the boards to finish with a 36-24 rebounding advantage.
  • Jackson Holcombe added 18 points and Trey Campbell finished with 13 points and a career-best 10 assists, while reserves Babacar Faye and freshman Jaxon Johnson provided timely scoring and rebounds.
  • The victory moved Utah to 3-0 and sets up a Saturday home game against Washington, while Weber State dropped to 0-3 and will host Lincoln next.
