SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Delon Wright took over in the second half, and it was all Utah needed to pull away from Fresno State.

Wright scored 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting, dished out 12 assists and collected five rebounds to lead the Utes to a 90-77 victory over the Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon.

Renan Lenz added 15 points, and Jordan Loveridge chipped in 13 points and 11 boards to help Utah (7-1) bounce back from a two-point loss to Boise State earlier in the week. The Utes shot 59.6 percent (34 of 57) from the field and 41.2 percent (7 of 17) from distance.

Marvelle Harris scored 22 points to lead Fresno State, but it was not enough to keep the Utes from snapping the Bulldogs (6-4) two-game winning streak. Three different starters, including Harris, fouled out during the second half.
