Now, the Pac-12 Conference season can finally begin.

With a 72-38 win over the College of Idaho on Friday night at the Huntsman Center, Utah ends the non-league portion of its schedule with an 8-4 record.

Jordan Loveridge, the freshman forward from West Jordan, led the Utes with 15 points and nine rebounds. Fellow rookie Brandon Taylor dropped in 14 points, a career-high, as Utah came away with an expected blowout of the Yotes.

Utah will travel to face Arizona State and Arizona next week.
