Utah Utes forward Ezra Ausar (2) celebrates after scoring a basket during a basketball game between the Utah Utes and the Brigham Young Cougars at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025. Utah wasn’t about to let BYU push the Runnin’ Utes around on their home court.

The Runnin' Utes were blown out by No. 7 Houston 70-36 on Wednesday evening at the Fertitta Center. The loss ended a three-game winning streak for Craig Smith’s unit following an emotional overtime victory over in-state rival BYU on Saturday.

He outscored his season average of 4.4 points solely in overtime, posting six points from a clutch game-tying 3-pointer and three made free throws — all the more valuable in a game where Utah missed 15 shots from the charity stripe — which ended up being the winning difference.

Utah was manhandled on Wednesday, falling 70-36 to No. 7 Houston at Fertitta Center in Houston in the most lopsided loss of the year for the Runnin’ Utes. The game was moved back a day, as a snow storm blew through the Houston area Tuesday.

No. 7 Houston dominated Utah in a decisive 70-36 victory on Wednesday night at the Fertitta Center, extending its win streak to 11 games. The Cougars improved to 15-3 overall and 7-0 in Big 12 play, while Utah fell to 11-7 and 3-4 in the conference,

Utah got its first-hand taste of what it’s like to play No. 7 Houston at the Fertitta Center. It’s safe to say, the Runnin’ Utes have nothing good to remember from this one. Utah was thoroughly outplayed by the Cougars in a 70-36 loss,
