Win or Go Home, Utah Hosts Boise State for NIT

Another chance to play together – that’s how the Runnin’ Utes are viewing their postseason.

The University of Utah men’s basketball team ultimately fell shy of its goal of reaching the NCAA Tournament, but the team has another shot to redeem itself in NIT as it hosts Boise State in the first round on Tuesday night.

There could be a lack of motivation with the team missing out in the big dance; often times home teams end up losing in the first round of the NIT, but head coach Larry Krystkowiak does not think that will be the case.
