A spectacular performance from backup SF Rodrick Wray helps lead the Panthers to a slight halftime lead. Utah fights back, but starts to run out of gas in the 2nd half. Leading scorer PF Fournier fouls out of the game with 3:40 left and Utah can't recover. The Panthers pull away to clinch a trip to the Sweet 16.
