The Utah men’s basketball team will play Iowa in a neutral game on Dec. 21, 2024, inside the Sanford Pentagon.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Utah head men's basketball coach Craig Smith announced on Monday that the Runnin' Utes will be squaring off against Iowa next season on Saturday, Dec. 21, in Sioux Falls, S.D., at the Sanford Pentagon.

"We are thrilled to be playing the University of Iowa in a neutral court game in Sioux Falls, S.D.," said Smith. "The Sanford Pentagon is one of the premier arenas in the country. It's intimate, loud and has a great sense of history as well as some nostalgia feel to the arena. It's a vibe.
