SALT LAKE CITY - When it comes to basketball, the University of Utah has established itself among the nation's elite in recent years. Combined, the Ute men's and women's programs went 248-64 the past five seasons for a .795 winning percentage, which ranks third-best in the country. Utah ranks behind Connecticut (.866) and Stanford (.796), and ahead of Duke (.787).
Utah's men and women swept the inaugural Mountain West Conference regular-season championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season. The women also won the Mountain West Tournament championship, while the men made it to the second round of the NCAAs before falling to eventual national champion Michigan State.
The Ute men went 137-29 under head coach Rick Majerus from 1995-2000, winning the regular-season conference title and making it to the NCAA Tournament each season. Utah also made it to three Sweet 16s and was the national runner-up in 1998. Under head coach Elaine Elliott, the Ute women went 111-35 the past five years, capturing five league regular-season titles and playing in four NCAA Tournaments and one NIT.
This season, the Ute women are 8-0 with wins over traditional national powers UCLA, Iowa and Montana. With just one starter and three other lettermen returning, Utah's men are 4-4 after their best-in-the-nation 54-game homecourt winning streak came to an end with a 79-77 loss to Weber State on Saturday. The Utes' four losses have come by an average of 3.25 points.
