percent (7 of 17) from 3-point range.
The Beavers led by one point after the first quarter and extended

late in the third quarter before McQueen's 3-pointer capped a 6-0
run that brought the Utes within 11 going into the fourth period.
However, the hosts never got within single digits in the final
quarter.
