The Utah men’s basketball team is gearing up for their first road swing of the season, with a game against West Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 8. Assistant coach Josh Eilert will be returning to Morgantown for the first time since joining the Runnin’ Utes staff. The last time these two teams faced off was in 1998 during Utah’s Final Four run.
Currently, Utah is ahead of its preseason projection in the Big 12 standings, tied with West Virginia, TCU, and Kansas State at 5-6. The upcoming game against West Virginia will be a challenge, as they are ranked nationally in 3-point field-goal defense and scoring defense.
Utah’s Lawson Lovering is making a mark as a big man passing the ball, ranking fourth among players 7-0 or taller in assists. The team will face Cincinnati next before returning home for games against the Kansas schools.
