SALT LAKE CITY — The nasty chants that rained down on Jason Washburn during Utah’s Pac-12 opener last week were hard to ignore.

Instead of being insulted, the Utes’ 6-foot-10 center took them as a sign that his play was being noticed.

Considering how far Utah had fallen off the college basketball map last season during a 6-25 campaign, the razzing almost felt good.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Utah guard Jarred DuBois took the inbound pass, turned and flipped a last-second 3-pointer toward the rim. The ball hit iron, bounced high off the backboard and again caught a piece of the rim before falling harmlessly to the floor.

Given a second straight chance to pull out a close road victory, the Utes came up short again.

Coming off an overtime loss in its conference opener, Utah made it two straight agonizing losses in the desert by falling 60-57 to No. 3 Arizona 60-57 on Saturday.
