Salt Lake City, Utah--(GCU Media Relations) The University of Utah ran out to an 11-0 lead just over three minutes into the game and never trailed as they defeated Grand Canyon, 79-54, this evening at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The loss drops GCU to 1-3, while the Utes improved to 3-0.
"I don't think we played very well tonight," said head coach Dan Majerle. "This is a level we are not at yet. This is where we are striving to be, but moving up from Division II to Division I we knew this would be a challenge. I thought our guys played a little scared tonight and they need to get over that. This is a big step up from what these guys played in last year."
Grand Canyon shot a season low 32.8 percent (19-58) from the floor, including 27.6 percent in the opening half. The Utes shot 51.8 (29-56) for the game in the win.
