Utah
Last season: 26-9, lost in NCAA Tournament Sweet 16
Nickname: Utes.
Coach: Larry Krystkowiak
Conference: Pac-12
Key returners: Jakob Poeltl, the 7-foot, 235-pound sophomore center was considered by many to be a potential first-round pick in the 2015 NBA draft. The Austrian is young in his basketball career, but is expected to be one of the better centers in the Pac-12 and a double-double machine. Brandon Taylor, the 5-10, 167-pound point guard, is a senior leader who often controls the pace of the offense.
