The Utah Utes reign from the Mountain West Conference, winning the conference championship 52-50 over San Diego State.  They went 24-9 on the season and 15-4 in conference play. The Utes started off the season on shaky ground, falling to Southwest Baptist 79-80 on their first game of the year.  They lost three in a row to Idaho State, California, and Oklahoma to bring their season win loss to 5-4.  The Utes started gelling around this point and won 15 of their next 17. 

The Utes are led by Senior Luke Nevill, who averages 16.9 ppg and 2.7 blocks per game.  He is definitely a force to be reckoned with and will be the tallest player the Cats will face all year.
