SALT LAKE CITY — Coach Dave Rose knew all week that his BYU team would need to knock down perimeter shots against a sizable Utah team that can clog the paint defensively. Elijah Bryant scored a season-high 29 points as BYU beat rival Utah 77-65 on Saturday night in the 258th meeting between the teams located 37 miles apart. Tyler Rawson had 15 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists while Gabe Bealer added 13 points for Utah. “It could be anyone’s night every night,” Bryant said. “Coming into an environment like this against a quality team … it’s pretty simple,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said.
