Utah continued its march toward its first-ever Pac-12 men’s basketball championship Thursday by routing Stanford 75-59 at a sold-out Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City.

It was the Utes’ 16th consecutive home victory, paced by Delon Wright’s 15 points, five rebounds and four steals. Dallin Bachynski had 13 points and six rebounds, followed by 12 points each from Brekkott Chapman and Jordan Loveridge for Utah (19-4 overall, 9-2 Pac-12).

Anthony Brown led the Cardinal (16-8, 7-5) with 15 points, followed by Marcus Allen’s career-high 13 points – 10 of them in the first half.

Chasson Randle, Stanford’s leading scorer, was held to 10 points and didn’t hit his first basket until the 6:23 mark of the second half and was 0-for-4 behind the 3-point arc. Randle entered the game averaging 20.3 points per game.

Utah asserted itself with a 6-0 run to close out the first half, building a 33-27 lead at the break. The Utes opened the second half with a 15-2 run that included seven points from Loveridge and left Stanford in the dust.

Stanford travels to Boulder on Sunday to face Colorado.
