Last time this season: Played in Salt Lake City on Jan. 7, 2006 In one of the best games of the series, Mallary Gillespie's put-back at the buzzer gave BYU a 61-60 upset over No. 22 Utah. The game was a hard-fought battle with both teams exchanging buckets all night long. The Cougars went on a 10-0 run midway through the first half to take a 17-10 lead, but Utah came right back, narrowing BYU’s lead to just one, 32-31, at the break. Julie Larsen hit a three pointer with just 39 seconds remaining in the game to give Utah a one-point lead. Ambrosia Anderson responded with a bucket of her own, but Larsen then hit two free throws to put Utah on top with only seven seconds remain- ing. On the last possession of the contest, Anderson’s desperation attempt fell short, but Gillespie was in position for the rebound, netting her shot at the buzzer.

Gillespie netted 21 points, tying her career high and setting a season high, while also snatching 10 rebounds. Although the Cougars struggled with turnovers and inconsistencies in the first half, BYU took a 33-26 lead into the break and then found its rhythm in the second half. To start the half Melinda Johnsen scrambled for a long rebound and threw the ball ahead to Gillespie for an easy lay-up, followed by an up-and-under by Ambrosia Anderson and a three pointer by Gillespie. The remainder of the half showcased a BYU offense that worked as a team and made the smart play, while the Cougars con- tinued to widen their lead.
