What if the Utah Runnin’ Utes win the National Championship in 1998?

This moment was brought to us by @corey_cheech on our Twitter feed and slc ranger in the comments section on our site Block U. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes made an incredible run in the NCAA Tournament after losing in the first round of the WAC Conference Tournament to UNLV. The Utes entered the tournament as the #3 seed in the West Regional. They proceeded to beat #14 seed San Francisco, #6 Arkansas, #10 West Virginia, #1 Arizona, and #1 North Carolina in the Final Four before losing to #2 Kentucky in the title game 78-69. The Runnin’ Utes were led by Coach Rick Majerus and players such as Michael Doleac, Alex Jensen, and Andre Miller, just to name a few.
