MEDIA DAY MANIA

Â
RUN IT BACK
Utah heads to Nevada this weekend as part of a return trip after the Wolf Pack came to SLC last season in exhibition action – which went in favor of Nevada 80-77. From last year's game Utah only returns Obomate Abbey while Nevada returns four players in Elijah Price, Myles Walker, Vaughn Weems and Peyton White.
Â
EYEING THE WOLF PACK
Nevada is led by veteran head coach Steve Alford – who is in his 35th season as a head coach – and recently announced that this will serve as his final season. The Wolf Pack were picked to finish third in the Mountain West in their preseason polls while Elijah Price and Vaugn Weems earned Preseason All-Mountain West Team honors.
Â
Price averaged 12.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game while recording 12 double-doubles last season. Weems was fourth on the team in scoring last season, averaging 10.1 points and 4.2 rebounds to go with a team-best .547 shooting clip.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Utah opened its exhibition slate with a 79-69 victory over UNLV last Wednesday (Oct. 7) in Las Vegas. The Utes controlled the game early and led by as much as 17 points at a couple points in the first half. UNLV cut the lead down to single-digits slowly in the second half, but the Utes weathered the storm despite its constant subbing to capture the win.
Â
Trey Campbell filled the stats sheet to lead Utah with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 3-of-7 from deep. Â TJ Burch came off the bench with tenacious energy on both ends of the floor, finishing with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals on 8-of-10 shooting from the foul line.
Â
Taison Chatman also added 9 points on 4 rebounds and 3 assists while Jackson Holcombe chipped in with 9 points himself to go with 6 boards and 4 assists.
Â
UP NEXT
The Runnin' Utes will return home to host their third and final exhibition game on Wednesday, Oct. 21, against a familiar foe in the Oregon Ducks. Tip-off is slated for 6:30 p.m. (MDT) inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center with Bill Riley and former Runnin' Ute Sean Mooney calling the action on ESPN+. The lone home exhibition game will be the first opportunity for fans to catch the 2026-27 Utah men's basketball team before the season-opener on Monday, Nov. 2.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
The 2026-27 edition of Utah men's basketball will kick off its season on Monday, Nov. 2, against Long Beach State inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Chris Sylvester and former Runnin' Utes assistant coach Joe Cravens will have the call on ESPN+ as Utah begins a five-game homestand to start the year.
