Utah (6-1) hits the road for the first time this season when they travel to Cincinnati to play 13th ranked Xavier (7-2). This will be Utah’s toughest challenge to date. Not only do the Utes travel two time zones away, they will have to play a talented Xavier team looking to correct course after two tough losses. It will be the second ranked opponent Utah has face this season, the other being Butler, their only loss so far this year.
Xavier is coming off two consecutive losses. Those came to no. 9 Baylor and Colorado, both on the road.
