Utah Running Utes
The Utah Utes started conference play strong but have struggled in league games lately, losing five of their last six. Currently sitting in 8th place in the conference with a 6-8 record, they have had notable performances from players like Branden Carlson, Gabe Madsen, and Deivon Smith. Despite their recent losses, they are still in the conversation for a spot in the NCAA tournament. The team's offensive and defensive statistics are middling, with a strong rebounding game but room for improvement in shooting percentages and defensive stops. Utah is listed as "Last Four In" by Bracketology, indicating they are on the bubble for tournament consideration. In terms of injuries, Rollie Worster is currently out.
