SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s losing streak reached four games, as the Utes wrapped up a three-game road swing with a 83-64 loss to Arizona State at Desert Financial Arena.
As has often been the case during the losing streak, Utah (10-7, 1-4 Pac-12) struggled shooting again, this time hitting at a 39.3% clip from the field. Arizona State, meanwhile, shot 51.7% from the field and had 11 3-pointers, compared to six for the Utes. Remy Martin led ASU with 20 points and six assists, while Timmy Allen paced Utah with 18 points (on 6 of 18 shooting) and 10 rebounds.
The Sun Devils (11-7, 2-3 Pac-12) went on a 7-0 run over a 34-second span to go up 56-40 with 8:15 remaining. While Utah cut the deficit back to eight points soon after, ASU quickly built the lead back to double-digits, squashing the Utes’ final threat.
Arizona State turned 18 Utah turnovers into 28 points, while the Utes scored just nine points off 13 Sun Devil turnovers.
