The Utah men's basketball team rallied late to beat Oregon 81-77 in overtime Wednesday night in its third and final exhibition game at the Jon M. Huntsman Center, the Deseret News reported. [1]

Trey Campbell and Jackson Holcombe scored 20 points apiece. The Utes trailed for nearly the whole game, and Taison Chatman's buzzer-beating three-pointer sent it to overtime. Campbell opened the extra period with a deep three to give Utah its first lead since the opening basket, and Oregon went 1-of-9 from the field in overtime. [1]

"We got every loose ball on the floor," Utah coach Alex Jensen said. "That was huge and it sealed the game." Jensen also said the crowd was small and that he wants the arena fuller. Oregon is under new coach Tony Stubblefield after Dana Altman retired earlier this month. [1]
