Why it matters

UVU's home dominance over the past two seasons has been a key factor in their success, as they look to capture a second straight WAC regular-season title. The Wolverines' ability to protect their home court has been crucial, especially with a tight race atop the conference standings.

The details

Leading 34-32 at halftime, UVU scored the first basket of the second half to push the lead to 36-32, but ACU responded with a 13-2 run to take a 48-38 advantage. 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.
