On Monday afternoon, we found another piece of the Mizzou non-conference hoops puzzle: Missouri will travel to Salt Lake City to play Utah early in the season.
Utah has won at least 20 games in each of the last four seasons under Larry Krystowiak, ranking in the KenPom top 50 each year. The Utes were a little bit on the disappointing side in 2017-18, falling to 20-12 and bowing out to Boise State in the first round of the NIT. But they were still a top-50 team, and they have an interesting roster that includes 6’8 forward David Collette and 6’5 sophomore Devon Daniels.
