The Utes men's basketball 2017-18 schedule is coming more into focus after the Pac-12 released its weekly pairings on Thursday. The Utes already released their nonconference schedule this week.
This season the Utes will have two matchups with apiece with Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, USC, Washington, and Washington State. The Utes will clash just once with Oregon, Oregon State, California and Stanford.
Arizona and Oregon will be defending co-champions this coming season. The Utes' lone game against Oregon will come on the road, where they're 2-8 all-time against the Ducks, while Arizona and Arizona State make their Colorado/Utah trip in the first week of January.
The Pac-12 regular season ends on March 3, and the Utes finish the season at home against Colorado.
T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will host the Pac-12 Conference tournament for the second consecutive season, March 7-10.
The Pac-12 set a conference record last week with 14 players selected in the NBA draft, including six first-round picks highlighted by the first overall pick Markelle Fultz out of Washington and second overall pick Lonzo Ball of UCLA. Utah's Kyle Kuzma got picked 27th overall.
