Aside from a few tip-off times, Utah's men's basketball schedule is complete.
The Pac-12 released the men's basketball schedule on Thursday afternoon, and the Utes have lots of balance, though they'll be tested on the road early.
Starting on New Year's Day at Stanford, the Utes begin Pac-12 play on the road, playing five of their first seven conference games away from Huntsman Center. The Utes will only get one shot at big rivals UCLA and Arizona — the Bruins on the road and the Wildcats at home — but they have plenty of space between the games.
If the early slate is road-heavy, Utah at least has three straight homes games to look forward to at the end of the regular season. Arizona State, Arizona and Colorado all come to the Huntsman Center before the Pac-12 Tournament begins in Las Vegas on March 9.
The Utes have home-and-homes with Stanford, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State this year.
Three of Utah's Pac-12 foes were NCAA Tournament teams last season: UCLA, Oregon and Arizona. Along with Utah, the Bruins and Wildcats made the Sweet 16. Stanford won the NIT.
The Utes went 13-5 in conference play last year, including an 8-1 record at home against Pac-12 foes, and tied with Oregon for second place. The Wildcats are defending conference champions.
All of Utah's 32 games will be televised. The majority, 16 games, will be on ESPN's family of networks, 14 will be on Pac-12 Networks and 2 will be on Fox Sports 1.
