Utah unveils $36 million basketball practice facility

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah unveiled a $36 million basketball practice facility Thursday with dramatic upgrades from what players and coaches were accustomed to inside the university's 46-year-old arena.

The 90,000-square-foot building will house the men's and women's programs and features two 12,000-square-foot practice gyms, recruiting lounges, a yoga room, rooftop terrace, a nutrition center and underground tunnels to the arena. Coaches' offices have a panoramic view of the mountains. There is also a new strength and conditioning room and an athletic training center.

''There isn't a nicer facility in our conference, for sure,'' coach Larry Krystkowiak said.
