Saturday Sports Update

The result effectively ended the 5th-ranked Utes' chances of getting into the four-team playoff field. Photo by USA Today

Clippers big man Ivica Zubac did on Friday. The Greek Freak had 27 points and 11 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks cruised to their 14th consecutive victory, 119-91. Photo by USA Today
Bottom: The first two weekends of December means its local tournament time, as a way to mark the start of the high school basketball season.
