The Utes ride into the first Big 12 season looking to make waves
The Utah Runnin' Utes men's basketball team is gearing up for their inaugural season in the Big 12, an exciting yet challenging new chapter. Unlike last year, Utah faces a different lineup of opponents, with nearly half the conference ranked within the top 40 nationally in preseason. This includes powerhouse teams like top-ranked Kansas and a Final Four favorite Houston.
A key focus during the Big 12 media day was the demanding travel schedule the Utes will face in this expanded conference. With games across various time zones, Utah will regularly travel long distances to compete in cities like West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Central Florida. Utes coach Craig Smith emphasized the need for a strategic approach to travel at, ensuring players have ample recovery time and preparation between games.
However, Utah does hold a distinct advantage with its home court. The altitude in Salt Lake City can be a hurdle for visiting teams, and Smith is hopeful this factor will work in their favor. The Runnin' Utes are set to make their mark in the Big 12, leaning on strong preparation, strategic travel planning, and the unique conditions of their home arena
