Richardson, who finished 9-of-12 shooting and hit a career-high five 3-pointers, scored Oregon’s first nine points in an 11-4 spurt that made it 67-57 when Young drove the left side of the lane and dropped a wrap-around pass to N’Faly Dante for a two-hand dunk with 5:22 to play. Young hit a 3 about 2 1/2 minutes later to push the lead into double figures for good.

The redshirt junior went into the game as Utah’s second-leading scorer at 12.
