SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah men's basketball team (3-4) looks to end its two-game skid Saturday against Idaho State (2-5). Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. MT. The game also marks "Utah Uth Night," where kids under 12 will get in free.
Utah holds a 21-4 (.840) all-time record against Idaho State, including a perfect 13-0 record at home in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The Runnin' Utes lost the last meeting between these two squads, a 72-68 result, in Pocatello, Idaho.
