SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Trey Campbell scored 20 points, and Utah rallied in the second half to slip past Long Beach State 66-63 on Monday night in the season opener for both teams.

Utah's 10 first-half turnovers led to 18 points for The Beach and they led 40-28 at halftime.

McCaden Adams scored seven points early in the second half and Long Beach State stretched the lead to 47-30. Utah scored the next 10 points, and later the Utes were within 54-48 after a three-point play by Jackson Holcombe about seven minutes into the second half.

Soon thereafter, a 12-0 run put the Utes ahead 60-56, and they held on as Long Beach State made only 1 of 11 shots in the final 5 1/2 minutes.

The Utes had a 38-23 scoring advantage in the second half, and they limited their turnovers to five after halftime.

Holcombe finished with 14 points and eight rebounds and Campbell added eight assists and six rebounds for Utah.

Adams scored 21, and Yohann Sissoko had 15 points for Long Beach State.

Utah's 14-game non-conference schedule includes 12 home games and two neutral-site games at the Charleston Classic.
