PROVO, Utah (AP) — Rudi Williams scored 26 points and BYU held off rival Utah for a 75-66 victory. BYU had a 4-point advantage at the break and used a 9-0 surge in the second half to stretch its lead to 59-44 with 6:06 remaining. Lazar Stefanovic’s jumper at the 5:27 mark ended a nearly 4 1/2-minute drought for the Utes, but it also sparked a 13-1 run that cut the deficit to 60-57 with 2:46 remaining.
