Fresh off of an impressive 71-61 upset of then-No. 19 USC, Utah hopes its resurgence is better late than never.

In the aftermath of that Saturday victory, which snapped Utah's four-game losing streak, the Utes believe they're capable of putting together a winning streak heading into the final week of the Pac-12 regular season and into the conference tournament. That theory will be put to the test Wednesday night in Salt Lake City against an Oregon State team that's already handily beaten Utah once this season.

Ethan Thompson had a monster game for the Beavers in their 74-56 victory over the Utes on Feb. 18 -- 25 points, eight assists, five rebounds, four steals and two blocks -- to go with a strong showing from Warith Alatishe (19 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and four blocks).
