SALT LAKE CITY - Utah, the No. 9 seed in the Midwest Regional, received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament with a 24-7 record. The Runnin' Utes open NCAA Tournament play against No. 8 seeded Oregon (23-9) on Friday at the Gaylord Entertainment Center (17,413) in Nashville, Tenn. Should Utah win that game, it will face the winner of No. 1 Kentucky (29-3) vs. No. 16 IUPUI (20-13) in the second round on Sunday. Game times are yet to be determined.
The Utes are appearing in thier 10th NCAA Tournament overall and their eighth in a row under Rick Majerus. (The Utes missed the tournament in 2001 while Majerus took a personal leave of absence). Majerus has led the Utes to a 16-9 record (.640) in the NCAA Tournament. Utah has made it to at least the second round of the tournament all but once under Majerus, winning eight consecutive first round games before losing to No. 5 Indiana as a No. 12 seed in 2002. The Utes have made it to the Sweet 16 four times, the Elite Eight twice and the Final Four in 1998 during the Majerus era.
