• In two seasons against ASU at home, the Utes have held the Sun Devils to just 19 total points in the first half. Utah limited ASU to just 10 points in the first half on Thursday. It was the fourth-lowest point total for an opponent in a half. Utah held the Sun Devils to just nine points in the first half in it home game last season.
• Utah opened the game with five straight three-pointers and would then go on to take a 30-2 lead before ASU called its first timeout of the game. ASU scored its first bucket at the 15;21 mark, but then did not score again until 5:08 was left on the clock in the first half.

• Utah's 16 three-pointers made are the second-most in school history, just one shy of the school record 17 three-pointers made (vs. UNLV, Jan. 12, 2002). The 40 three-point attempts ties the all-time school record that was previously set back on March 1, 2003 (at New Mexico).
• ASU was limited to just 4-of-28 from the field in the first half for just a .143 shooting percentage, which ranks as the fourth-lowest field goal percentage for an opponent in a half.
