Wasatch didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Provo in their previous meeting back in February of 2023, but they still walked away with a 77-71 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Provo's Dallin Mcune, who went 11 of 16 on his way to 30 points.
