Utah Beats Weber State 85-64 as Alec Anigbata Scores Career-High 21

The Utah Utes secured an 85-64 victory over Weber State on Tuesday at the Huntsman Center, overcoming a sluggish start to dominate the second half.

The Utes entered the locker room at halftime trailing 37-30, a deficit that prompted immediate adjustments. The team responded with a massive 20-0 run that effectively dismantled the Wildcats’ defensive structure. By the time the final buzzer sounded, Utah had outscored Weber State 55-27 in the second half, moving to a 3-0 record on the season.

This early-season reliance on late-game rallies is becoming a hallmark of the current Utah squad. In their season opener against Long Beach State, the Utes similarly required a second-half push to secure the win. Against Weber State, the first 20 minutes were marked by disjointed play, making it unclear how the team will establish an identity before the break.

Amid the tactical concerns, the performance of freshman forward Alec Anigbata provided a clear positive. Anigbata recorded a career-high 21 points, including five during the 20-0 run. His aggression on the offensive end offers a necessary secondary scoring option alongside Trey Campbell and Jackson Holcombe.

Babacar Faye has rejoined the team, and Fynn Schott is expected back in the rotation shortly.

Jaxon Johnson	Provided solid production; faces increased competition.

The current frontcourt, which has leaned heavily on Gomma and Holcombe, will likely see shifts in usage rates as returning veterans reclaim their spots. The ability of Jensen to integrate these players without disrupting the team’s current momentum remains a primary storyline for the coming weeks.

The Utes are currently in the midst of a five-game homestand, providing a stable environment to refine these rotations before the schedule stiffens. The next test arrives on Saturday against Washington.

While the 3-0 start is objectively positive, the first half against Weber State serves as a diagnostic tool for a team still identifying its ceiling. “The Utes are 3-0, but the first half against Weber State was a reminder of how much room is left to grow,” reported The Daily Utah Chronicle.
