Warriors aim to topple Utah

The University of Hawai’i basketball team will be facing a tall task in its first road game of this season at Utah on Saturday.

The non-conference game is scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m. (Hawai’i time) at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. It will be televised on the Pac-12 Network (available for subscribers).

The Rainbow Warriors are 4-1. The Runnin’ Utes are 5-1, including 4-0 at home.

Hawai’i has an all-time record of 1-22 against Utah in games played in Salt Lake City, and that lone victory came in 1984, when it took a half-court shot at the buzzer to give the Warriors a 69-68 win. It is also worth noting, however, that the last time Hawai’i played a road game at Utah was in 1999.
