- The underclassmen accounted for 89.8% of the team's scoring.
- Utah is now 83-79 all-time in league play since joining the Pac-12 in 2011-12.
- Timmy Allen now has 892 career points as a Ute, and looks to become the 40th player to join the 1,000 points club next season.
- Krystkowiak is 171-126 (.576) after wrapping up his ninth season at the helm here on The Hill.
- Krystkowiak earned his 200th career-win when the Utes defeated Minnesota 73-69 at home.

Utah junior
Alfonso Plummer was unconscious in the Pac-12 Tournament opening game against Oregon State, drilling a record 11 threes for a career-high 35 points. The 11 triples ties him with Davion Buster (Lamar) and Michael Ertel (ULM) for the most 3-pointers in a game this year. Plummer is just the 25th player to drain 10-plus threes in a game since the 2010-11 season per
Basketball-Reference.
