Utah goes cold in final minutes for 71-62 loss to West Virginia
The Utah men’s basketball team fought hard in Morgantown but fell short in a 71-62 loss to West Virginia on Saturday night. The game featured several momentum shifts, but the Utes struggled to string together stops at crucial moments, allowing the Mountaineers to secure the victory inside a packed WVU Coliseum.
Utah started strong, jumping out to a 6-0 lead, but West Virginia responded with a 15-4 run to take a 15-10 lead. The back-and-forth battle continued throughout the first half, with multiple lead changes. However, Utah endured a tough stretch in the final seven minutes, hitting just one of its last ten shots. This drought allowed West Virginia to go on a 12-3 run and take a 36-27 advantage into halftime.
Amani Hansberry led the Mountaineers with 17 points, including three three-pointers, while Javon Small contributed 14 points and eight assists. Joseph Yesufu and Jonathan Powell also added double-digit scoring efforts for West Virginia, which improved to 15-8 overall and 6-6 in Big 12 play. Keanu Dawes led Utah with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Jake Wahlin added 10 points.
Despite Utah’s attempts to rally in the second half, West Virginia consistently had answers. The Mountaineers built a 53-39 lead with 12:38 remaining, but Utah clawed back within five points at 64-59 with three minutes left. However, Powell drained a crucial three-pointer, helping WVU pull away down the stretch.
Turnovers once again hurt the Utes, as West Virginia converted 10 Utah turnovers into 16 points. The Mountaineers also capitalized on timely baskets to keep Utah at bay.
The loss drops Utah to 13-10 overall and 5-7 in Big 12 play. The Utes will look to bounce back on Tuesday when they travel to Cincinnati to face the Bearcats.
KANOSH, Utah — The United States Geological Survey recorded multiple earthquakes near Kanosh Sunday morning, each of them having an average magnitude of 3.0.
The first earthquake, magnitude 3.0, was detected just after 12:30 a.m., with the epicenter located half a mile south of Kanarraville.
The second quake, magnitude 3.2, was detected around 5:45 a.m., with the epicenter nearly five miles south-southwest of Kanosh. This was followed by two more quakes in the same area, a magnitude 2.5 quake coming in around 6:35 a.m., followed by a third around 7:45 a.m, which measured at magnitude 3.3.
This has since been followed by another quake, measuring at magnitude 3.7, being detected around 8:45 a.m. The geographic location in the USGS report places the epicenter approximately over two miles south of the Dry Wash Trail, about six miles south-southwest of Kanosh.
FOX 13 News previously spoke with researchers at University of Utah, who said that earthquake swarms are relatively common. A study published in 2023 posits that swarms may be triggered by geothermal activity. The findings came after a series of seismic swarms were detected in central Utah, within the vicinity of three geothermal power plants.
The study also says that the swarms fall into a different category than aftershocks that typically follow large quakes, such as the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that hit the Wasatch Fault back in 2020.
