Runnin' Utes Begin Road Swing at UCF Sunday
2/20/2025 2:42 PM | Men's Basketball
The Utah basketball team will face off against UCF this Sunday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m. (MST) on ESPN+ in Orlando.
SALT LAKE CITY – With five games remaining in the regular-season and fresh off a sweep of the Kansas schools at home, the Utah men's basketball team now hits the road for two games starting this Sunday, Feb. 23, at UCF.
Drew Fellios will have the call on ESPN+ beginning at 2 p.m. (MST) alongside former UCF Knight, BJ Taylor, as the Runnin' Utes and Knights battle for the first time ever on US soil and just the second time in program history.
DOWN THE FINAL STRETCH
With five games remaining in the regular-season, the Runnin' Utes are just one game out of .500 sitting at 7-8 in Big 12 play. Per the Big 12 Conference, every Big 12 team that has finished .500 or better in league play has made the NCAA Tournament since 2014-15 and every team that has finished .500 in league play has made the tournament since 2009-10.
UTES DOMINATE BOARDS
Utah dominated the battle of the boards this past Monday against Kansas State, out-rebounding the Wildcats 51-28. In addition, the Utes also had a 21-6 advantage on the offensive glass. The last time Utah grabbed 21 offensive rebounds was last season against No. 8/8 Arizona in triple overtime. However, the last time Utah pulled down 21 offensive boards in a regulation game dated back to Dec. 28, 2013, against St. Katherine.
The +23 rebounding differential against Kansas was the first time Utah had out-rebounded an opponent by 20-plus boards since out-rebounding UCLA 50-28 (+22) last season and wound up handing the Bruins their second largest margin of defeat in program history 90-44.
SENIOR SEND OFF
The Utah men's basketball program will be honoring six seniors in its final home game of the regular-season on Tuesday, March 4, against West Virginia. The Runnin' Utes will be celebrating Hunter Erickson, Brandon Haddock, Lawson Lovering, Caleb Lohner, Mason Madsen and Gabe Madsen.
UP NEXT
Utah will wrap up its final two-game road swing of the season with a familiar foe in #19/18 Arizona on Wednesday, Feb. 26, inside McKale Center. Pete Sousa will guide fans through the action while former Cardinal head coach Jerrod Haase serves as the analyst on ESPN+ beginning at 7 p.m. (MST) as the Runnin' Utes hope to turn things around this season and pick up its first win inside McKale Center since Dec. 6, 1986 (67-67).
LOOKING AHEAD
Utah then returns home for its final two games inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center, starting with a familiar foe in Arizona State on Saturday, March 1. The Runnin' Utes program will welcome back former players that weekend for Alumni Night against the Sun Devils and the two teams battle it out for the first time as members of the Big 12 Conference. Tip-off between Utah and Arizona State is slated for 5 p.m. (MST) on ESPN+ with Pete Sousa once again on the call, this time alongside former Arizona Wildcat Corey Williams.
