The Utah men's basketball team is set to host Weber State at 7 p.m. (MT) on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. This game represents the third matchup in a five-game homestand to open the season.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ with Chris Sylsvester and former Runnin' Utes assistant coach Joe Cravens providing the commentary. This meeting marks the 43rd time the two programs have met in history. In their previous matchup last season, Utah secured a 92-89 overtime victory following a corner three-pointer from Don McHenry with four seconds remaining in regulation.
Utah enters the matchup with three players averaging double-figures. Trey Campbell is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. Freshman Alec Anigbata is averaging 11.5 points and 4.0 rebounds, while Jackson Holcombe is averaging 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks. All three players are shooting at least .400 from the floor. Additionally, Campbell leads the team with five 3-pointers and 14 assists.
The matchup features several storylines, including transfer Malek Gomma playing against his former team. Meanwhile, Alvin Jackson III, who was on the Utah roster last season, is currently with Weber State but is out with a season-ending injury. Utah's most recent game was a 67-57 victory over Towson, a win secured largely through defensive efforts and free throw shooting, where the team scored 16 of 40 points from the charity stripe.
Following the Weber State game, Utah is scheduled to host Washington on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The Utes will conclude their homestand on Tuesday, Nov. 17, against Eastern Washington at 7 p.m. (MT).
