UP NEXT
The Utes will host West Virginia for their final home game of the 2024-25 regular-season on Tuesday, March 4, as interim head coach Josh Eilert squares off against his former team, this time at the helm of the Runnin' Utes.

Mark Neely will have the call alongside 3x NBA Champion Scott Williams as the Runnin' Utes look to secure the in-season sweep over their bitter rivals as well as look for their first win in Provo since 2014 – 65-61 affair in favor of Utah.
