Utah and Utah Tech will look to reverse their fortunes on Friday afternoon in Salt Lake City when they meet in an intrastate showdown.The Utes (3-1) are coming off a disappointing 78-73 road loss against Mississippi State on Sunday after leading by double digits at halftime. The Trailblazers (1-3) fell 86-69 at Wyoming last Saturday.”You know, a couple plays here or there and the score flips, and we’re super happy,” Utah coach Craig Smith told ESPN 700 in Salt Lake City. “This is a good team we just played (Sunday), and it’s that type of team we’re going to see in the Big 12.”Miro Little gave Utah a 39-28 lead at the break after hitting back-to-back 3-pointers, but Mississippi State began the second half with a 22-5 surge and punished the Utes in the final minutes from the free-throw line, draining 7 of 8 attempts in the final 73 seconds.Utah’s leading scorer, Gabe Madsen, was limited to nine points while going 1-for-10 from 3-point territory. Ezra Ausar topped Utah with 15 points, Mason Madsen scored 14 and Keanu Dawes chipped in with his first career double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds.The Friday game kicks off a six-game homestand for Utah, which won the first three games of the season by at least 31 points.
