SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah men's basketball team continues the gauntlet that is the Big 12 Conference as it entertains another top-10 team in #6/6 Houston this Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m. inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Â
Dave Flemming will once again have the call alongside former UCLA Bruin Sean Farnham on ESPN2 as the Runnin' Utes look to snap a five-game losing streak in front of the home crowd against a defensive minded Cougars team.
Â
DAWES STARTING TO FIND HIS WAY
Keanu Dawes has started to increase his production for Utah in the last four games since being held without a point against Kansas State. The 6-9 forward has since averaged 16 points and 9.8 rebounds in the past 4 games while posting an impressive .622 shooting clip. The former SLC product has pulled down double-digit rebounds in his last three games with two resulting in double-doubles.
Â
UP NEXT
Utah embarks on its lone road swing later this week for the Cincinnati and West Virginia trip. The Utes first take on Cincinnati at 10 a.m. (MST) / Noon (EST) inside Fifth Third Arena with Eric Rothman and former Providence head coach Tim Welsh on Sunday, Feb. 15. The seventh all-time time meeting between the Utes and Bearcats is scheduled to air on ESPN or ESPN2.
Â
The Runnin' Utes will then return to Morgantown, W.V., to take on the Mountaineers of West Virginia on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 6:30 p.m. (MST) / 8:30 p.m. (EST) on FS1. Noah Reed is on the call alongside NBA veteran LaPhonso Ellis as Utah looks to get back in the win column against the Mountaineers after dropping both games last season to WVU in its first season as members of the Big 12 Conference.
Â
LOOKING AHEAD
Utah returns home after its road swing to host a pair of games, starting with UCF on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m. (MST) inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Chris Sylvester will have that call with former Runnin' Utes assistant Joe Cravens as part of the Utes Proud Game and Greek Night.
