Forward Kyle Kuzma scored 15 points and forward Jordan Loveridge added 14 points to lead No. 24 Utah to a 105-58 victory over Delaware State on Tuesday night.

Guard Lorenzo Bonam and forward Chris Reyes added 12 points apiece for the Utes who improved to 6-0 all-time versus teams from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Utah (10-2) also won its 27th consecutive nonconference home game.

Guard Devin Morgan Jr. scored 14 points to lead Delaware State. The Hornets (0-12) are one of only three Division I teams without a victory this season.

Utah led wire to wire and faced minimal resistance along the way. In the first half, the Utes shot 62 percent (18-of-29) from the field and 60 percent (six-of-10) from the perimeter. Delaware State, on the other hand, shot just 27 percent (nine-of-33) from the field and 25 percent (two-of-8) from the perimeter before halftime.

Loveridge, Kuzma and Bonam made three straight baskets to open the game as Utah took an early 12-4 lead. Delaware State briefly cut the lead to 12-9 behind a jumper from Morgan and a 3-pointer from guard DeAndre Haywood.

Utah responded by making eight shots in row -- culminating in back-to-back 3-pointers from Bonam and Loveridge – to fuel a 19-4 run as the Utes push their lead to 31-13 with 9:45 left in the first half.

Utah stayed in front by double digits the rest of the way.

Delaware State never threatened Utah in the second half. The Utes built a game-high 53 point lead, going up 103-30 with 1:33 left after Reyes and guard Jake Connor made back-to-back baskets and Reyes added a free throw.
