Utah Basketball Opens Up Road Swing with #7 UCLA Thursday
1/9/2023 4:37 PM | Men's Basketball
The Utah men’s basketball team hits the road for a pair of games this week, starting with #7/6 UCLA on Thursday.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team will get huge road test this Thursday, Jan. 12, when it steps foot onto Pauley Pavilion to take on #7/6 UCLA in a match-up between No. 1 and No. 2 in the current Pac-12 standings.
Â
Ted Robinson and former UCLA All-American Bill Walton will have the call in the 26th meeting between the Runnin' Utes and Bruins on Pac-12 Networks.
Â
LA BOUND
Since joining the Pac-12 Utah has swept the LA schools on the road twice (2015-16, 2018-19) and have been swept on the road four times with a pair of splits – both wins coming against USC during those splits. In total, the Utes are 4-9 all-time against UCLA on the road with Thursday being the first time the Utes will face a ranked Bruin team on the road since joining the Pac-12. UCLA received votes in 2020-21 season when the two squared off in Pauley Pavilion with the Bruins prevailing 73-57.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Despite shooting well below their season average, the Utah men's basketball team kept itself within striking distance of the Oregon Ducks at home but ultimately fell 70-60. The Utes shot just .143 from 3-point range and .357 from the field. The only Ute to have a solid night all around was Marco Anthony, who scored 15 points to go with 10 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting – which was his seventh-career double-double. It also marked the second time in his career that the San Antonio, Texas, native has recorded back-to-back double-doubles.
Â
UP NEXT
Utah closes out the short road swing to SoCal with a Saturday night battle with the Trojans of USC at 7:30 p.m. (MT). Ted Robinson will once again have the call in the Pac-12 Networks broadcast while another UCLA All-American, this time Don MacLean, serves as the analyst.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
The Runnin' Utes head back home the following week to welcome in Washington State (Thursday) and Washington (Saturday). Saturday's bout against the Huskies will serve as a RED OUT for Utah as it welcomes back former Runnin' Utes to the Hill for alumni night.
