MEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW FAMILIAR FACES RETURN Head coach Larry Krystkowiak is back for his seventh season with a host of veterans.

with the foreign tour, but it’s about evolving.”

The Utes had the luxury of taking a foreign tour this past summer and the players were allowed the opportunity to get in a few extra weeks of practice, along with getting some competition under their belts. Utah traveled to Barcelona, Spain, and then Paris, France. The Utes played three different foreign squads and were able to build some team chemistry along the way.

“We had a number of new guys last year that caused us some issues internally,” Krystkowiak said.

“This year we have a bunch of really good guys and it is a real joy to come and coach them. We have a lot of energy givers so it is fun and that’s a starting point for sure. We are kind of getting back to when we first started this program it was really important to us. I think if I am going to fess up a little bit that maybe you start chasing some of the stars in the recruiting and you start thinking that is important and you lose sight of the fact that character is a really important part of it.

We are kind of getting back to some of those basics. As I said, it is a fun group to coach.”

Krystkowiak has the luxury of bringing back 10 letterwinners from last season, senior forward David Collette, who started 22 of 32 games while averaging 13.6 points and 5.1 rebounds, and tallied a team-best

tah heads into the 2017-18 season after having finished last season 20-12 overall and, despite being picked to finish eighth in the Pac12, in sole possession of fourth place in the league standings at 11-7. The Runnin’ Utes earned a firstround bye in the Pac-12 Championship Tournament, but fell, 78-75, in the second round to California. Utah earned an at-large bid into the NIT and hosted Boise State in the first round of the tournament.

This was a team that won 20 games. In fact, only five Utah squads have gone onto win at least 20 games in a single-season over the previous 12 seasons – and last season’s squad was one of them. This was a team that ranked second in the Pac-12 Conference in offensive field goal percentage (.504). A team that ranked third in the league in defensive field goal percentage (.417).

2017-18 UTAH BASKETBALL

Despite what people may have labeled as an off year, Utah heads into the 2017-18 season with a brand new focus and head coach Larry Krystkowiak, who enters his seventh season at the helm of the program, likes what he sees in this year’s squad compared to last season.

“Every team you have, unless you are fortunate enough to have everyone back, you can anticipate some changes,” Krystkowiak said. “Four years ago, we built our team around Delon [Wright], somewhat in a pick and roll oriented team. Then for a couple years we were center focused with Jakob [Poeltl] and last year we played through Kyle [Kuzma].

“I don’t think we have a system here at Utah, short of the fact that we play hard and play defense, some certain non-negotiables, but our focus right now is to try to put these guys in positions where they can be successful. We have an off season to sort some of it out. We have a little bit under our belt

Senior guard/forward Gabe Bealer looks to become a permanent part of the starting lineup after making six starts last season.

MEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW Krystkowiak also noted that Rawson will be relied on and that his leadership will be key for the Utes this season.

“Ty might be one of our best passers,” Krystkowiak said. “He is capable of hitting threes and he has just developed. A year ago, he was a JC transfer and didn’t quite know what to expect. You can see a little more confidence from him and he is a senior, so he knows it is winding down. He expects a lot out of himself and he has worked hard to put on some weight in the weight room. He does a nice job, not just for himself, but he makes his teammates better around him and has a good feel for the game.”

In addition to the returners, Utah welcomes seven newcomers to the 2017-18 squad, which includes Justin Bibbins, who transferred in from Long Beach State, along with true freshmen Donnie Tillman (Detroit, Mich., Findlay Prep), Christian Popoola (Las Vegas, Nev., Bishop Gorman HS), Brooks King (Boise, Idaho, Centenial HS), and Devante Doutrive (Woodland Hills, Calif., Birmingham HS). The incoming class also welcomes junior college transfers Kolbe Caldwell (Shawnee CC) and Nate Duda (North Platte CC).

Junior guard Sedrick Barefield averaged 9.0 points per game in “I look out here while they are practicing 2016-17. and Kolbe [Caldwell] is a guy that can surprise some people,” Krystkowiak said. “I like Donnie .596 shooting percentage from the field. Other starters [Tillman] and Christian [Popoola], and all the young returning to the team include junior guard Sedrick kids we’ve got in the program, but I hate to leave Barefield (three starts, 9.0 ppg), senior forward Tyler anyone out. I am just as curious as everyone. It is kind Rawson (eight starts, 6.0 ppg), junior guard Parker of like leadership. If you aren’t going to be a leader, Van Dyke (11 starts, 4.6 ppg), sophomore forward does that mean you are a follower? I would rather Jayce Johnson (six starts, 4.0 ppg), and senior guard/ everyone possess a leadership quality in some way and forward Gabe Bealer (six starts, 3.6 ppg). the same thing goes with the guys on the court when

“I just want Dave [Collette] to get after it, focus, you talk about production and your role. That’s what and know that he is the guy that’s called on and he’s we are establishing right now and if guys can stay going to have to bring it,” Krystkowiak said. “He’s a within their role, then the more important thing is that go-to guy with a lot of reps under his belt. Also, just a we will be winning games and playing productive, and sense of urgency and that comes with being a senior. that is the biggest thing.”

Some leadership is obviously going to be expected

Utah’s back court will have a familiar look with and he’s got to do a good job of putting the ball in the Barefield and Van Dyke back in the rotation, but basket for us. it also includes newcomer Bibbins, and according

“He’s done a nice job in the summer. Last year to Krystkowiak, the back court will be an area of he was only here for half the season, so this is his first emphasis this season. full year in a long time. Any kind of judgements or

“We have a couple of dynamic guards and both assessments of what he has done recently is not fair do things with the ball in their hand,” Krystkowiak because I don’t know how engaged he would have said. “We have a team that can feed off of them and been a year ago when he knew he wasn’t going to play you know they don’t have the weight of the world to until Christmas. There are a lot of expectations, but like score points or make plays. We never have really had everyone else, we are going to fix what’s broken and a point guard, two wings, and two big men. We have what he’s not doing.” always just had three guys in the backcourt that can

make some plays. It doesn’t really change much this year. You may think Justin [Bibbins] is a point guard because he is 5-foot whatever, but the ball is just as likely to be in the hands of our two other guards making the same kind of plays. That is kind of what you are talking about, taking the heat off of those guys and knowing they can attack when the opportunity presents itself.

“We knew Justin for a while and we recruited him and had an interest for him when he was in high school. We had another guy on our team named Brandon Taylor at the time and it didn’t make sense to have two so-called “little guards”. Although, I have come to not really care how a big a guy is when their heart is a lot bigger than anything. It has been great.

He hasn’t tried to come in and thrust himself into anybody’s face. He is a leader and a matured kid who understands what he wants. He wants to win games and as I said with Tyler, I think his teammates love to be on the floor with him because they know he is about the team. We are looking for a nice little charge from him and we wish we had him for more than a year.”

Senior forward Tyler Rawson started eight games and averaged 6.0 points per contest last season.

UTE PLAYER PROFILE

A View for What’s Ahead Sophomore center Jayce Johnson has a clear vision of what he and his teammates are capable of achieving this season, and he likes what he sees.

ike any kid growing up, Jayce Johnson went through just about every sport until he found his love for one of them at the age of eight. Johnson grew up in a family of six. His older siblings, Jake and Jessica, were the ones who helped him fall for basketball.

“I was always around it,” Johnson explains.

“I started to get really into it because of them. It is

probably where I get alot of my aggressiveness and stuff like that. When I played, I was happy. I just loved the sport so I decided to stick with it. Then I got to high school and stuck with it. Now I am here.”

The seven-foot sophomore out of Mission Viejo, Calif., had a plethora of schools looking at him, and for good reason. He was ranked as the No. 47 overall recruit by 247sports.com, according to the Recruiting Service Consensus Index. He also was tabbed as the No. 11-ranked center in the nation by ESPN. Oregon,

Cal, Gonzaga, Auburn, Arizona State, Notre Dame and Colorado were all looking at him. But Utah was the place where he could see himself being successful.

“I loved the atmosphere when I came here. I felt comfortable. I felt like this is where I should be,” Johnson said. “I love the team. I obviously love the coaches. The coaches really made an impact on my visit. I felt like this was the right place. They told me I should go where I am happy. I don’t want to go where I feel like it is a good situation but I don’t feel right there. I felt like Utah was right.”

Johnson came to Utah during the 2015-16 season after graduating from high school early and enrolling for the spring semester. He sat out the remainder of that season as a redshirt.

“Coming in that semester early helped me a lot,” he said. “In practice, being able to learn the plays and being able to go up against Jakob [Poeltl] for the end of his time here before he went to the NBA was big. I also was able to sit on the bench and get used to the feel of the atmosphere during games before I had to step on the floor.”

Johnson admits that he had a hard time adjusting to college and the student-athlete lifestyle at first. But like most freshmen who are finding their way, he learned to develop a routine that has worked for him.

“It was a little hectic. I was trying to get used to it. I missed my family and all my friends,” Johnson recalled. “I bounced around high school to high school, so I didn’t have that real high school—stay in the same high school for four years—experience.

“But jumping in here and starting to learn early gave me a little head start,” he continued. “I mean, I am a big man. It took me a little while and I am still growing into my body. I am getting a lot better and I have been really focusing on key things.”

Playing in his first season as a Ute, he averaged 12.3 minutes a game and reached double figures in rebounds three times. His best game was against Oregon, when he tallied 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Johnson still remembers what it was like to step on the floor as a Ute for the first time.

“It was a little nerve-wracking,” Johnson explained. “It was the first time in front of a big crowd.

My school before, the high school I came from, wasn’t very big. There weren’t many people that could fit in there. When I came here, there were a lot more people and I needed to learn to focus on me and not all the surrounding things. I started doing that this year, just kind of doing my thing.

“In high school, I felt like the competition level was kind of mediocre compared to anything that you (continued on page 72)

JON M. & KAREN HUNTSMAN BASKETBALL FACILITY

T

he Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility, a state-of-the-art, $36 million, 101,000-square-foot structure, opened northeast of the Huntsman Center arena on Oct. 1, 2015. The four-story building features a legacy hall, separate glass-enclosed upper levels for both the men’s and women’s programs, and a rooftop terrace.

The ground floor entrances to the facility lead into the Kem and Carolyn Gardner Legacy Hall. Banners bearing images of the former Ute basketball greats hang from a 38-foot-high ceiling. A pictorial history of the men’s and women’s basketball programs lines the walls alongside a massive 30-foot raised circle and feather logo. The 6,000-square-foot hall is bathed in natural light from clearstory windows.

Expansive viewing balconies overlooking the men’s and women’s practice gymnasiums are accessible via Legacy Hall. The configuration of both gyms is ideal for practice because it allows coaches to run five simultaneous drills without impacting one another. The courts are an exact replica of the one in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The gymnasiums also contain a video editing area, courtside taping tables and cardio equipment. A glass-enclosed yoga room shared by both teams overlooks the women’s practice court.

Other features of level one include a shared space for pre-game meals and donor functions.

2017-18 UTAH BASKETBALL

Both teams have separate theaters complete with projection screens and whiteboard walls, as well as player lounges with six 55-inch televisions, custombuilt furniture and gaming consoles. The team locker rooms, which are 700-square-feet in size, are also found on level one. In addition to custom lockers, showers and restrooms, they boast in-ground hot and cold tubs that face 80-inch television screens.

The women’s and men’s basketball offices, recruiting lounges, conference rooms and coaches’ lounges are located on levels three and four, respectively. All assistant coaches have window offices and private balconies. Across the hall are offices for administrative and video staff.

The head coaches have L-shaped 935-squarefoot offices encased in floor-to-ceiling glass with private balconies. They are equipped with fireplaces, 60-inch televisions that retract into the ceiling when not in use, and surround sound.

Above level four is a rooftop terrace, bordered by a garden with low-water and drought-resistant plants, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain ranges, the University of Utah campus, downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake. It includes a fire pit, gas grill and Utah-themed patio furniture.

A series of existing tunnels connects level one to the HPER facilities, the Sorenson High Performance

Center and Burbidge Family Athletics-Academic Center—which serve all of Utah’s student-athletes— as well as the Jon M. Huntsman Center.

“I truly feel that the Huntsman Basketball Facility is one of the nicest facilities on the planet,” said head men’s basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak. “I have been around a lot of the facilities in the country at both the NCAA and NBA levels, and this is the nicest. I say that not only because it is ours, but because the unrivaled amenities inside are complimented by the spectacular views in every direction.”

Added women’s basketball coach Lynne Roberts, “From a standpoint of taking care of student-athletes and showing them how important men’s and women’s basketball is at Utah, there’s no better statement than this facility. It is truly unbelievable and is going to be a huge asset for us in recruiting. We’ve been able to walk recruits through it already and they are picking their chin off of the ground the entire time. It’s the definition of a ‘wow’ factor.”

The Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility was built in conjunction with the state-ofthe-art Sorenson High Performance Center, which opened in May 2015. The 20,000-square foot facility has conditioning and strength training space; an athletic training, rehabilitation and hydrotherapy area; and a refueling/nutrition station.

SORENSON HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTER

T

he state-of-the-art Sorenson Legacy Foundation High Performance Center, a two-story, 20,000-square-foot structure located northwest Jon M. Huntsman Center, opened in the summer of 2015.

The facility provides everything a student-athlete needs to achieve their peak level of performance— ranging from nutrition, strength and conditioning, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and sports psychology—all within close proximity to maximize time efficiency.

The ground floor features a 9,500-square-foot sports medicine facility and a 500-square-foot fueling station, while an expansive 10,000-squarefoot strength and conditioning center resides on the top floor. Two exterior entrances are located off the southeast corner of the building, while a refurbished tunnel system connects the performance center to the existing HPER complex, the Jon M. Huntsman Center and the new Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility.

The new sports medicine area features

18 treatment tables—including one traction table—six taping stations, a hydrotherapy area, a functional rehabilitation space and cardio area, and three exam rooms.

The rehab area features Optojump and forceplate machines, and a Delos postural proprioception system.

A pair of Wattbikes and two Alter-G treadmills, which use air pressure to alleviate body weight so that athletes can start conditioning earlier after injury, are also included. The treatment area offers several modalities, including Game Ready, Dynatron with thermoprobe, Diathermy Hivamat, and NormaTec recovery systems.

The expansive hydrotherapy area includes a plunge pool in the shape of a block U, half containing cold water and half hot water with a capacity of 20 people per side. It also houses a Hydroworks 2000 underwater treadmill equipped with cameras and television monitors, allowing athletes to watch their subsurface work.

Six offices for the full-time staff and one

office for graduate assistants are also included, as well as an area to make custom orthodics, mouthpieces and splints.

The second-floor strength and conditioning center has 12 work stations, allowing athletes to train efficiently in a sport-specific program. It also includes a PLAE turf running surface, measuring five yards wide by 35 yards in length. Agility and plyometric sprinting drills performed in this area allow athletes to enhance movement patterns that transfer to their sport.

Keiser air pressurized equipment has been installed, allowing for greater training variation while providing instant feedback of athletes’ movement power. The strength and conditioning center also includes Woodway treadmills, a Hammer Strength line, and a variety of other means to maximize athletes’ performance.

The fueling station, located adjacent to the lobby area on the ground floor, offers a variety of snacks to help athletes intake the necessary levels of carbs and proteins within the critical 30-minute window after a workout to help their bodies recover.

J

ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D. has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 31st year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s move to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011. In their first six seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” the Utes have won three Pac-12 gymnastics championships (2014, 2015, 2016), one baseball title (2016) and a football South Division co-championship (2015).

Utah has won 10 NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—six by the ski team (including the 2017 NCAA title) and four by the gymnastics team.

The Utes have also placed second in the nation 16 times since he took the helm, including the 1998 men’s basketball team’s NCAA runner-up finish and a No. 2 final national ranking by the football team after its win over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl.

Hill has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998).

Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (2004-09), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06.

The football program, which had not played in 18

2017-18 UTAH BASKETBALL

a bowl in the 22 years preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 14-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership. The men’s basketball team has played in 15 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team also has 15 NCAA appearances, making the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight once. The gymnastics team has made 20 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 30 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 15 times under his watch.

He has received a number of awards, including the following: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year.

The New Jersey native was inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award.

Hill has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 1975-79 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (197981). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before becoming the athletic department’s Crimson Club director (1985-86).

In 1987, he was named the director of athletics.

Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities.

As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982).

His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for

L

arry Krystkowiak heads into his seventh season as head coach of the Utah Runnin’ Utes. With more than 100 wins over the course of his first six seasons, to label his rebuilding of the program anything but a success would be an understatement.

Krystkowiak has accumulated 115 victories in his six seasons as head coach, which includes four consecutive 20-win seasons, a pair of NCAA Tournament berths and two NIT appearances. He is just the fifth coach in school history to register at least 100 wins with the program, joining former legendary coaches Vadal Peterson (385 wins), Jack H. Gardner (339), Rick Majerus (325) and Jerry Pimm (173).

Under Krystkowiak’s leadership, Utah is the only school in the Pac-12 to have a player selected in the first round of the NBA Draft over the past three seasons. Along with Delon Wright (2015, No. 20) and Jakob Poeltl (2016, No. 9), Kyle Kuzma went No. 27 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft.

During the 2016-17 campaign, Krystkowiak led the team to a 20-12 overall record, which included

going 11-7 in Pac-12 play and finishing fourth in the conference standings. Krystkowiak guided Utah to a 27-9 overall record and the second round of the NCAAs in 2015-16, which led to his being named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) District VIII Coach of the Year.

Utah defeated its highest-ranked opponent since 2002 when it took down No. 7 Duke at New York’s Madison Square Garden in December 2016. The Utes closed out the regular season with a program-best seven straight wins in Pac-12 Conference play to finish as the league runner-up for the first time ever. Utah also played in its first Pac-12 Tournament title game since it joined the league in 2011.

Jakob Poeltl earned 2015-16 Pac-12 Player of the Year honors–the program’s first POY since 2009. Poeltl would go on to be named the program’s second-consecutive consensus All-American under Krystkowiak, while also taking home the Pete Newell Big Man of the Year and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year awards.

LARRY KRYSTKOWIAK

In 2014-15, Krystkowiak led the Utes to a 26-9 record, a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 and a No. 15 final national ranking. Utah was ranked in the Top 25 for 19 weeks – the most time spent in the national polls since the Final Four campaign of 1997-98. Delon Wright won the 2016 Bob Cousy Award and was a Wooden All-American selection. The senior guard was also named a second team All-American by the USBWA and the NABC.

Academically, Utah’s program has achieved a 100 percent graduation rate under Krytkowiak and has one of the top three Academic Progress Report (APR) scores in the Pac-12. Brandon Taylor was named the program’s first-ever Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2016.

Striving for success, both on and off the court, are trademarks of the Krystkowiak era. Due to improvements in both areas, the Utah head coach was rewarded with a contract extension that runs through the 2023-24 season.

The resurgence of Utah basketball under Krystkowiak has also ignited Utah’s fan base. The Utes have averaged more than 12,000 fans at home over the past three seasons.

Krystkowiak was introduced on April 4, 2011 as the 15th men’s basketball coach at the U., with prior head coaching experience in the NCAA, CBA and NBA.

In his previous collegiate head coaching post, Krystkowiak led his alma mater, the University

of Montana, to a 42-20 record and two NCAA appearances from 2004-06 before joining the NBA coaching ranks. Hired as an assistant coach by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2006-07, “Krysko” was elevated to head coach with 17 games remaining in the season.

He was retained as the Bucks’ head coach in 2007-08.

Among the players he coached was former Ute AllAmerican Andrew Bogut. Krystkowiak’s other head coaching experience was in the CBA with the Idaho Stampede in 2003-04.

After a nine-year NBA playing career in six cities, Krystkowiak’s first coaching job was as an assistant coach at Montana from 1998-2000. The Grizzlies were the Big Sky champions in 2000. He then moved on to Old Dominion as an assistant in 2001-02 before signing on as the head coach of the CBA’s Idaho Stampede. In his lone season with the Stampede in 2003-04, he led the team to a 38-14 record and a berth in the CBA Finals.

Krystkowiak spent the next two seasons as the head coach at Montana. The Grizzlies were Big Sky champions in 2004-05, winning the conference tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. They appeared in the Big Dance in 2006 as well, earning an at-large bid and advancing to the second round with an upset victory over fifth-seed Nevada. It was UM’s first NCAA tournament win since 1975. Montana finished the season with a 24-7 record, after going 18-13 in Krystkowiak’s first season, losing

The only three-time Big Sky MVP in league history and two-time Academic All-American for Montana from 1982-86, Krystkowiak is still the school’s all-time career leader in points (2,017) and rebounds (1,105). He was selected in the second round (28th overall pick) of the 1986 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls and played in the league for nine years with San Antonio (1986-87), Milwaukee (1988-92), Utah (1992-93), Orlando (1993-94), Chicago (199496) and the Los Angeles Lakers (1996). Over his NBA career, he averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds a game with his best season in 1988-89 when he averaged 12.7 points and 7.6 rebounds a game for Milwaukee.

Krystkowiak made the Dean’s List four times at Montana, including in 1996, when he completed the degree he began over a decade earlier in business administration. He graduated with honors, boasting a 3.5 grade point average.

Krystkowiak and his wife Jan have five children, sons Cam, Luc, and Ben, along with twin daughters Samantha and Finley.

This is Connor’s second stint with the Utes, following four years as an assistant under the late Rick Majerus from 1994-97. Connor, a former Utah player (1986-88, 1990), returned to his alma mater after a very successful 12-year stint as the head coach at Westminster College (NAIA).

Connor was a four-year starter for the Runnin’ Utes at point guard. After graduating with a B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science, he spent three years as a graduate assistant and another four years as an assistant coach at Utah under Majerus. During his time on the bench, Connor helped guide Utah to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight as well as the NIT “Final Four”, while capturing four Western Athletic Conference championships.

In a stellar 12-year career at Westminster, Connor led the Griffins to a 264-114 (.698) overall record, while proving even more dominant in Frontier Conference play with a 126-40 (.759) mark.

Those numbers become more impressive when considering that Connor built the program from scratch after it was reinstated prior to the 1999-2000 season.

Under Connor, Westminster posted 10 seasons with at least 20 wins, including nine straight from 2002-2011.

The Griffins won seven regular-season Frontier Conference championships and two conference tournament titles.

Connor was a five-time Frontier Conference Coach of the Year and his teams qualified for nine NAIA National Championship appearances.

Connor coached 17 players to NAIA All-American status and had one NAIA National Player of the Year. The Griffins also had five players named Frontier Conference Player of the Year and saw 36 players earn all-conference honors. Westminster was also successful in the classroom as 44 players earned NAIA Scholar Athlete honors and 108 players were named Academic All-Frontier Conference.

Andrew Bogut was the Consensus National Player of the Year in 2005.

Kyle Kuzma was taken as the No. 27 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, giving Utah three first round picks in three years.

UTAH’S GREATEST TOP TEAMS AAU National Champions – 1916

After the Utes beat the defending national champion Olympic Club of San Francisco by 20 points on March 1 in Salt Lake City, a groundswell of support raised enough money to send the team to Chicago in search of a national title. The Utes defeated the Olympic Club again in the semifinals and took down the Illinois Athletic Club, 28-27, for its first national title and an 11-0 season.

»

NCAA Runner-Up – 1998

Utah took down defending national champion Arizona, 76-51, in the West Regional final and No. 1-ranked North Carolina, 65-59, in the national semifinals at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

The Runnin’ Utes fell to Kentucky in the title game as a deep Wildcat team overcame a double-digit second half deficit. Utah, led by head coach Rick Majerus and All-Americans Andre Miller and Michael Doleac, tied the school record with 30 wins.

NCAA Champions – 1944

The Utes were invited to both the NIT and the NCAA Tournament at the end of the 1944 season, but chose the former. At the time, the NIT was a much better tournament financially. After Utah lost to Kentucky in the NIT first round, head coach Vadal Peterson received a phone call from the NCAA asking them to participate in their tournament as a late fill-in for Arkansas, which was involved in an automobile accident. The Utes quickly accepted and headed to Kansas City, where they beat Missouri and Iowa State to advance to the championship game back in New York’s Madison Square Garden. Utah defeated Dartmouth, 42-40 in overtime to win the title. A few days later in a Red Cross Benefit game, Utah defeated NIT champion St. John’s, 43-36.

NIT Champions – 1947

»

The Utes won the three games in the tournament by a total of seven points and took down Kentucky, 49-45, in the championship game. The starters from the 1947 NIT title team were (left to right) Wat Misaka, Fred Weidner, Arnie Ferrin, Vern Gardner and Leon Watson. Ferrin, Misaka and Dick Smuin were veterans of the ’44 NCAA Championship run but center Vern Gardner garnered tournament MVP honors. Fred Weidner also played a major part in the championship.

W

ith Kyle Kuzma being selected in the 2017 NBA Draft, Utah became the only school from the Pac-12 to have had at least one player taken in the draft the past three seasons. Kuzma, who was taken No. 27 overall by Brooklyn and traded to the L.A. Lakers, joins Delon Wright (2015) and Jakob Poeltl (2016), who were both selected by the Toronto Raptors.

It also marked the first since 1998-2000 that Utah had a player selected in three consecutive

seasons when Michael Doleac was selected 12th overall in 1998, Andre Miller went eighth overall in 1999 and Hanno Mottola was taken in the second round (40th overall) in 2000. This is the first time since 1997-99 that Utah has had a player selected in the first round of the NBA Draft in three consecutive seasons. The last time it happened, Keith Van Horn went second overall in 1997, followed by the selections of Doleac (1998) and Miller (1999).

THE PAC-12 & ACADEMIC SUCCESS On To The NBA

Over the last five years, the Pac-12 Conference has produced 42 NBA Draft picks, including 23 firstround selections. Those totals are second only to the ACC, which has had 52 players selected overall and 30 in the first round. Fourteen Pac-12 players were taken in the 2017 NBA Draft, including six in the first round.

That number set a league record and tied for first among all conferences.

PAC-12 CONFERENCE

Built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic performance, the Pac-12 Conference renewed its undisputed claim as the “Conference of Champions” in 2016-17, becoming the first conference to win 500 NCAA Championships.

The Pac-12’s success is as evident in men’s basketball as any sport, where league teams have captured a record 16 NCAA Championships. The Pac-12 also lays claim to 39 NCAA Final Four appearances, 93 Consensus All-Americans and 17 National Players of the Year.

The Pac-12 has sent at least half of its teams on to postseason play 26 times in the last 28 years, with four teams making the NCAA Tournament in 2017.

During that time, 13 league players have garnered National Player of the Year or National Freshman of the Year honors.

In 2016-17, a record three teams had 30 wins and four reached 25 wins for just the second time ever.

Three teams finished in the AP top 10, with Oregon at No. 3, Arizona No. 4 and UCLA No. 9.

2017-18 UTAH BASKETBALL

All-Pac-12 Utes

Utah has had three players earn All-Pac-12 First Team honors over the last four seasons. Delon Wright was a first team selection in both 2014 and 2015, while Jakob Poeltl was named a first team selection in 2016.

Kyle Kuzma was a first team All-Pac-12 pick in 2017.

Poeltl also earned 2015-16 Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year honors while Brandon Taylor was named the 2015-16 Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year for men’s basketball.

Television Exposure

The Pac-12 Conference men’s basketball television package will feature a total of 224 contests telecast to national and regional audiences. Pac-12 Conference controlled broadcasts include 152 events to be aired on Pac-12 Networks (including seven preseason events and eight Pac-12 Tournament games), 45 games on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, 23 on FS1 (including three Pac-12 Tournament games) and two nationally each on FOX and CBS broadcast networks.

Additional appearances will be made through other conference television agreements and various in-season tournaments to bring the comprehensive broadcast total to more than 260 events.

All 29 of Utah’s regularseason contests will be televised this upcoming season. The Utes will have a total of 15 games televised on the Pac-12 Network and 10 games aired on the ESPN family of networks, to include ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The remaining five regular-season

games will be aired via Fox Sports broadcasts (FOX, FS1). All games aired on the ESPN family of networks will be available through WatchESPN, while contests on FOX/FS1 can be streamed via the Fox Sports Go app.

Any of Utah’s contests aired on the Pac-12 Network can be accessed via the Pac-12 NOW app.

CLASSROOM CHAMPIONS

For everything the Runnin’ Utes have achieved on the court, they have been equally successful in the classroom. In Larry Krystkowiak’s program, the focus is on developing well-rounded studentathletes. The graduation rate of Utah basketball players within six years from the time they enrolled as freshmen is 100 percent.

Utah ranked second among Pac-12 schools with a total of two players on either the Academic All-Conference first or second teams in 2016-17. David Collette and Parker Van Dyke were on the second team and Jake Connor earned honorable mention.

Over the last five years, Utah has placed 11 players on either the Pac-12 All-Academic first or second teams, and six others have earned honorable mention. Brandon Taylor and Jeremey Olsen were both three-time Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selections.

Since 2012-13, the Utes have had: • 7 Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selections • 4 Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team selections • 6 Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention Selections

Top Three In APR Rankings

Utah basketball ranked among the top three in the Pac-12 Conference in the NCAA APR rankings released in 2017 with a multi-year score of 990.

Endowed scholarships can be established to remember a family member, to honor a favorite coach, to connect your family to the Utes or for many additional reasons. Partial and fully endowed scholarships can be established through current or planned gifts by contacting the Crimson Club office.

SCHOLARSHIP CIRCLE

The Scholarship Circle is a group of Crimson Club members – individuals and companies – who generously support student-athletes at the University of Utah by providing full and annual scholarships. Scholarship Circle members are a key part in building the Utah Athletic Department as a whole. The department’s success depends on contributions to stay competitive and relevant. The Scholarship Circle is essential in meeting growing costs of student-athletes for cost of attendance recruiting, housing, tuition, meals, travel, etc. Making this investment means building stronger programs for all sports and you are making a difference in our success.

he move from high school to college is one of the biggest transitions most people make in their entire life. Leaving home, learning how to live on your own, and deciding what you want your future to look like are just a few of the things that new college students are faced with.

For NCAA Division I athletes, who are making the move to the next level in another way, the transition can be even harder than most would anticipate. Ute sophomore forward Marc Reininger is happy to be on the other side of that process.

“Being away from home is definitely tough,” said Reininger. “Now that my time is my own, I really have had to work on managing it myself and preparing myself to do things on my own. In high school, I was told what to do and where to be, but now I have a different schedule every day and different things going on with practices, film, and weight training.”

Reininger has a support system of people who are able to relate to what he is going through.

Reininger’s father, Robert, was a competitive rower for

the U.S. National Team and won two bronze medals in 1986 and ‘87. Reininger’s sister, Katie, played volleyball at Saint Mary’s her freshman year before transferring to Kansas State to complete her collegiate career. She was a two-time second team All-Big 12 selection during the 2015 and ‘16 seasons while also earning Academic All-Big 12 honors three times.

“Having a family who is sports-oriented with the type of experiences that I go through definitely helps me. My mom also played volleyball like my sister, so we are all just supportive of each other. They understand what I am going through and want to help me do better,” Reininger said.

Even though sports may have been all around him while he was growing up, Reininger never showed much interest in basketball until later on. He focused on academics, played the piano and the guitar, and played on recreational sports teams for basketball, baseball and track. He never felt the urge to play at the competitive level.

“My family never pushed me to play,” Reininger explained. “I have the talent and height, but they never said I had to play basketball or that I had to play any sports, really. They just wanted me to play

basketball if I enjoyed it. My family was there to support me if I chose to play but not to force me if I didn’t.

“I had always played recreational basketball and other sports for fun, but I really didn’t think about playing for any reason but that,” he continued. “After a while, I decided to start playing competitive basketball in eighth grade and get more serious. I am so tall and I thought that my height could really help.”

Reininger averaged 7.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 56 percent from the field during his senior season at Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colo.

“After deciding I wanted to take it seriously, I definitely wanted to play in college,” Reininger continued. “I was kind of naïve in high school, thinking I would get a big scholarship and everything, but things worked out. I had always had that dream and goal of going to college for basketball, and it ended up working out for me.”

After surveying his different choices, Reininger chose the University of Utah because of the outstanding academics the school offered, as well as the opportunity to be a part of a Pac-12 program.

Marc Reininger had four points, four rebounds and one blocked shot in 2016-17.

Marc Reininger (continued from page 71) “Utah was the best place where I could be a well-rounded studentathlete,” Reininger said. “I am studying mechanical engineering as my major.

Not every college has mechanical engineering, let alone a good mechanical engineering department and a good basketball program. It was the best fit for me to come here.

“It is definitely tough to balance my schoolwork with basketball,” he continued. “I make sure that every minute of the day is going towards something and that I am not wasting any time. This is when the transition from high school to college becomes the most difficult for me because it is my responsibility to make sure everything gets done.”

Between diving into a difficult course load academically and dealing with an increased level of play on the basketball court, Reininger has been faced with quite the learning curve.

“When I first got here, I was so lost mentally. In high school, my team didn’t run nearly as many plays and the level we were at was just so much lower than what it is here. There is so much attention to detail now, and it was a big change for me. I still need to improve mentally and that is what I plan to keep working on the most,” said Reininger.

After getting limited time on the floor last season, Reininger plans to work hard and keep improving every day, and find ways to help the team any way possible during the year ahead.

Jayce Johnson (continued from page 6) can get on the floor here,” Johnson continued. “It is a lot of hardworking people who are actually dedicated to the sport. They are all dedicated to the sport because, to be a Division I athlete, you have to be.”

As he has prepared for this season, Johnson has been working on his free throws, and it has shown. During the team’s annual Night with the Runnin’ Utes back on Oct. 17, he went 5-for-5 at the line and 4-for-5 from the field.

“Last year, [my shooting] was really bad,” Johnson sighed. “But, obviously, you can tell that I have been working on it. That is something I have really dedicated my time to. Also, I want to get more of the little outside jump shots in. I kind of want to work on that this year. Maybe get a couple of jump shots here and there if I could.”

Becoming a better free throw shooter is Johnson’s top individual goal this season. He has some others.

“Getting on the floor and rebounding. Finishing every shot that I get around the rim.

Offensive rebounds are another thing I want to get into. Every shot that we put up, I’m thinking if they miss I am going to get up there and get that rebound,” Johnson explained.

For the team, he wants to see more cohesiveness on the court. Johnson feels like the guys are well-connected away from basketball, but on the court he wants to see them gel a little bit better.

The Utes go through a Navy SEAL training course before the start of every season, and it is one of Johnson’s favorite memories year to year. Even though this year’s team is young, Johnson believes it has the motivation and dedication to succeed. He believes the bonding experience that came from the Navy SEAL training exercise will help the team achieve its goals this year.

“We were able to bond for a couple days and learn some things about each other that we didn’t know before,” Johnson shared. “We sat around a bonfire and we all told our story. Some people cried. It was a chance to get to know each other and actually feel and understand what other people are feeling. That helped us understand why they act the way they act.”

Johnson is hopeful as he heads into his sophomore season. He sees potential in this team and knows it has the chance to do some special things.
