Sun Devil Men’s Basketball continues their road trip by taking on Utah at John Huntsman Center on Saturday at 6 PM MST.

Arizona State (11-12, 5-7) looks to continue their recent success against the Utes (15-8, 6-6), entering the game having won four-straight and six of the last seven in the series. To do so they will have to beat Utah in front of their home fans, where they are 12-1 this season. The trip represents ASU’s first appearance in Salt Lake City since February of 2022, a 63-61 Sun Devil win. The Pac-12 Conference standings remain close, with Head Coach Bobby Hurley‘s team part of a crowded middle of the pack.

FIRST MEETING
Jose Perez went for a season-high 26 points to help Sun Devil Men’s Basketball open their home Pac-12 Conference slate with a 82-70 win over Utah back in January. The Maroon and Gold shot 30-for-60 from the field – an efficient 50% for the game – while holding a red-hot Utah offense to going 13-of-33 (39.3%) shooting in the second half.

2022 VICTORY AT UTAH
Arizona State will be making their first trip to Salt Lake City since the 2021-22 season. A Marreon Jackson layup with six seconds left gave the Sun Devils a 63-61 victory in the last meeting between the two teams at the Huntsman Center.

MILESTONE ACHIEVED
Bobby Hurley secured his 150th victory as the head coach of Sun Devil Men’s Basketball over Utah on Jan. 4. The win makes him just the third coach in program history to win 150 games at ASU.
