SALT LAKE CITY — While the full 2016-17 college basketball schedule won't be officially announced until September, the University of Utah and head coach Larry Krystkowiak announced the Runnin' Utes non-conference slate of games Thursday.
Utah is set to play eight home games during November and December, with seven straight to open the season. The home schedule is highlighted with games against Butler on Monday, Nov. 28 and Utah Valley on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
Utah is 1-1 all-time against Butler, with the last matchup being a 74-62 loss in the 2010 Diamond Head Classic.
While this marks the first meeting between Utah Valley and the Utes, Krystkowiak is 1-0 against the Wolverines with a win while coaching at Montana in 2005.
