SALT LAKE CITY — The Runnin' Utes are back in the Big Dance for the second straight year.
The University of Utah men's basketball team is back at it again with a No. 3 seed heading into the NCAA Tournament. Utah, (26-8) and winner of eight of its last nine games, is traveling to Denver this Thursday to play the Mountain West Conference tournament winner, Fresno State.
The Bulldogs are on a nine-game winning streak heading into Thursday's game, and last Saturday Fresno State upset the favorite in the Mountain West, San Diego State, 68-63 to claim their spot in the NCAA Tournament and their first tournament berth since 2001.
