Utah 72, Oregon State 61: Jordan Loveridge collected 17 points and 12 rebounds as the Utes used a big second half to pull away from the visiting Beavers.

Jarred DuBois scored 15 points and Jason Washburn added 15 and eight boards for Utah (12-17, 4-13 Pac-12), which moved a game ahead of Oregon State and into sole possession of 10th place in the Pac-12. The Utes will close out the regular season by hosting Oregon on Saturday.

Roberto Nelson scored 18 points and Challe Barton went 5-for-6 from 3-point range for 15 points as the Beavers (13-17, 3-14) suffered their fifth straight setback. They fell back into a tie with Washington State for last place in the conference.

Oregon State went into the half trailing by four points and closed to within three on Barton’s 3-pointer less than a minute into the second. But Utah took off from there, getting two 3-pointers from Brandon Taylor and another from DuBois during a 19-6 run over the next 6 1/2 minutes.

Loveridge’s jumper with 5:47 left pushed the lead out to 61-42, and the Beavers could not chop it back to single digits the rest of the way.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Oregon State finishes its regular season at Colorado on Saturday. … The Beavers committed 15 turnovers, leading to 21 points for the Utes. … Loveridge’s double-double was his first in Pac-12 play. The freshman forward matched his season high for rebounds.
