Why it matters

The Wolverines then went on an 11-3 run to cut the deficit to 51-49 with 10:18 remaining. A Trevan Leonhardt three-pointer gave UVU the lead back at 55-54, and they built a 65-59 lead over the next 4:36. Abilene Christian pulled within three late, but UVU scored the final four points to seal the 74-67 victory.
