SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Seydou Traore scored 23 points, 18 of them in the second half, and Don McHenry had 16 for Utah<\/a> in a season-opening 84-75 win over San Jose State<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The win is the first for Utah’s new head coach, Alex Jensen. Jensen played for the Utes from 1994-1995 and 1997-2000. He returns to Utah after previously being an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
