SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team returns home for a midday match-up against the TCU Horned Frogs this Saturday, Jan. 17, inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Â
Spero Dedes will have the call on TNT with Greg Anthony serving as the analyst and Jared Greenberg roaming the sidelines as the Runnin' Utes host the Horned Frogs inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center for the first time since Feb. 22, 2011, when then two were in the Mountain West Conference with the game going in favor of Utah that day 50-48. Saturday's game can also be seen on TruTV and streamed with the HBO Max app.

HOME SWEET HOME
Utah looks to snap a four-game skid this Saturday when it plays host to TCU. This is also the first time the Utes have lost two in a row at home since joining the Big 12 with losses to No. 1 Arizona and No. 9 BYU back-to-back weekends. The two programs first squared off in 1996-97 as members of the WAC before reuniting once again in the Mountain West starting in the 2005-06 campaign.
Â
FAMILIAR FOES
The Runnin' Utes are 12-2 overall against the TCU Horned Frogs in conference action – including a 6-0 mark at home and 5-2 record on the road. Two of those 11 victories over TCU also occurred during the conference tournament.

Utah will have a short turnaround as it travels to Manhattan, Kan., for the first time since Dec. 1, 1973, for a 7 p.m. (MST) match-up against Kansas State on Tuesday, Jan. 20, inside Bramlage Coliseum. Tom McCarthy will call the action while former Villanova Wildcat and coaching veteran Chris Walker serves as the analyst on the CBS Sports Network broadcast.

LOOKING AHEAD
The Utes return to the Beehive State to prep for part two of the in-state rivalry game against No. 11/11 BYU on Saturday, Jan. 24, inside the Marriott Center.
