Alabama Falls To Utah In Close Nonconference Loss
No.1 Alabama dropped a 51-49 decision at Utah after a late miss spree. Utah’s Nick Jacobson hit key free throws to seal the win as Alabama Coach Mark Gottfried faced a tough environment and a 9-1 team struggles on offense. Arizona also lost but Luke Walton reinjured his right ankle against Boston University, likely sidelining him for Pac-10 play at Oregon.
