The Utes have no time for lingering on their first loss of the season early Thursday morning, because another opponent awaits on Friday night.
Utah will play their fourth game since Nov. 16 when they host Eastern Washington at 6 p.m. Friday in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. EWU will try to knock off its second Pac-12 Conference foe of the season after earning a win at Stanford on Nov. 14.
Both the Utes (4-1) and the Eagles (3-3) are coming off games in Las Vegas. The Utes lost to UNLV, 85-58, in the championship game of the heavyweight division of the MGM Resorts Main Event, while the Eagles won the third-place game in the middleweight division of the same event.
