Utah Men's Basketball Returns Home to Host Cal Baptist on Saturday
12/4/2025 12:55 PM | Men's Basketball
The Runnin’ Utes and Lancers square off for the first time in program history on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 5 p.m. (MST).
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team returns home to the friendly confines of the Jon M. Huntsman Center this Saturday, Dec. 6, as it welcomes in Cal Baptist for a 5 p.m. (MST) match-up on ESPN+.
Â
Tony Parks will walk fans through the action while former Runnin' Utes assistant coach Joe Craves serves as the analyst with Utah looking to right the ship and get back in the win column at home.
Â
EYE ON THE PRIZE
Utah junior Keanu Dawes has continued to be a force on the glass for the Utes, averaging 10.2 rebounds through nine games through season. The 6-9 forward is currently tied for 19th in the country with his 10.2 boards per game and is just 1-of-24 players through games on Dec. 3 to be averaging double-digit rebounds. Of those 24, Dawes is 1-of-4 players from the Big 12 Conference currently averaging 10-plus rebound.
Â
Â
DOUBLE IT UP
Through games on Dec. 3, Utah's Keanu Dawes is 1-of-21 players to be averaging a double-double so far this season and is just 1-of-3 players from the Big 12 Conference to do so.
Â
Â
UP NEXT
The Utes return to action next Saturday, Dec. 13, for an 8 p.m. (MST) tilt inside Delta Center against Mississippi State to close out its "neutral and neutral" contract with the Bulldogs. Roxy Bernstein will have the action alongside former Arizona Wildcat Corey Williams on ESPNU as the Utes and Bulldogs duke it out for the third time in four seasons. Fans can purchase tickets for the Salt Lake Showcase between Utah and Mississippi State via SeatGeek or through the Delta Center.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
Utah will wrap up its home slate in the non-conference season with Eastern Washington on Saturday, Dec. 20, in a 5 p.m. (MST) match-up inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Chris Sylvester will be on the call for that game alongside former Utah assistant coach Joe Cravens as the Runnin' Utes look to capture their fourth-straight win over the Eagles on ESPN+. Â Â
