RUNNIN’ UTE PLAYER FEATURE

No Small Feat

Senior guard Brandon Taylor has overcome his diminutive stature to become one of the Pac-12’s best players.

By Eric Doughty Utah Athletics Communications

Brandon Taylor has finished in the Pac-12’s top 10 in three-point percentage every year of his career. He has also finished in the top 15 in assists the past two seasons.

4 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

hen picturing a standout Division I basketball player, most people would visualize someone bigger than 5’10” and 170 pounds. However, Utah senior point guard Brandon Taylor refuses to acknowledge his lack of size as an obstacle and has silenced everyone who believed he was too small to be an elite college athlete.

“I have never really paid attention to my size,” Taylor explained. “I think that once you start thinking you are smaller than everybody else it becomes another barrier that you have to get over. I have never really thought of myself as being small and, honestly, I don’t think that I play small. I am never going to make any excuses, and if you put me out there I know that I can play with anyone.”

Taylor attended Pacific Hills High School in Los Angeles, where he led his team to the 2012 state championship while averaging 19.8 points, 7.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game as a senior. He was named CIF Division 4 Player of the Year, Alpha League MVP, and the co-MVP of the National Prep Classic. After receiving so much attention, one would have expected Taylor to receive scholarship offers from all over the country; however, many college recruiters dismissed him due to his size. But the Utah staff saw potential in the way he played, and Utah culture—rather than the team’s prowess—led Taylor to Salt Lake City.

“I like the culture here,” Taylor said. “Being from Los Angeles, that place is a little bit fast and it’s a big city. I wanted to grow up, and I didn’t feel like I was going to be able to grow up and mature if I went to school in California. I wanted to get away and Utah was also the biggest school that came after me.”

While Taylor was completing his senior season at Pacific Hills, there was not much buzz surrounding Utah’s basketball team, which concluded the season with an abysmal 6-25 record.

The Runnin’ Utes have improved their record every season Taylor has been at Utah. He has not only had a close-up view of the rebuilding process, he has been a major part of it. Last season, Taylor started all 35 contests and was named an AllPac-12 Second Team honoree. Taylor averaged 10.6 points per game and shot 43.9 percent from beyond (continued on page 6)

RUNNIN’ UTE PLAYER FEATURE

Senior guard Brandon Taylor has been a starter since the final 13 games of his freshman season. the arc to rank third in the conference.

“It is incredible,” Taylor said. “It is incredible to come in at a time when Utah basketball wasn’t up.

The energy wasn’t there, the crowd wasn’t there, the enthusiasm about being a Ute wasn’t there. To see it progress every year that I’ve been here has just been incredible.

“I always wanted to be part of something special and to be part of history,” Taylor continued. “When you join a program that is already at the top, you know that you are just joining that era. I think the way that I did it, along with Jeremy (Olsen), Jordan (Loveridge) and Dakarai (Tucker), was that we joined a movement. We are a part of history and a movement that progressed over a period of time.”

During the summer of 2013, Taylor was named to the Pac-12 All-Star team that traveled to China under Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak. Taylor, who was 6 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

joined on the tour by Ute teammates Loveridge and Olsen, said the experience was something that he will never forget.

“It is crazy what this game of basketball can do for you,” Taylor explained. “As an individual and an athlete, it can teach you so many things and take you so many places. Going to a place like China was remarkable. You get to see the culture, you get to eat how the Chinese people eat and you get to literally experience life over there. I have only seen the “Rush Hour” movies and others like that portraying the Chinese culture a certain way, but to be able to go over there was another experience. Going to Shanghai and to the Great Wall was incredible. Those are all things that I never dreamt of, and I am just completely thankful and blessed for.”

Entering his last season at Utah, Taylor has proven to be a prominent player in one of the nation’s

most renowned basketball conferences. As a senior, he has taken on the added pressure of being a team leader and one of the players opponents game plan around. Taylor acknowledges those two things have affected his performance so far this season, but he is confident he will be able to turn things around.

“That is all I’ve felt,” Taylor said. “This whole season, that has been my problem. I felt too much pressure to a point where I let it dictate my play. There is a pressure knowing that it is your last year. You want to make a name for yourself and make noise around the country. It makes you think that you have to play perfect because it is your last chance. I have kind of gotten out of that mode.

“I know there is pressure being a leader and a senior, but I can’t think like that,” he continued. ”I am going back to the mindset where I enjoy every day. I am at the point where I know that I can’t control the future and I can’t control the past. The only thing that I can control is the present and what I do from here on out. That is what I am trying to focus on now, and not think about the pressure anymore.”

After recording some impressive non-conference wins, including one over Duke at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Utes got off to a rough start in Pac-12 play. Taylor believes that experience will make the Utes more competitive late in the season.

“Honestly, things happen for a reason,” Taylor asserted. “I couldn’t tell you what the reason is for this.

I think that we had a tremendous summer and I think that we have a tremendous group of guys. I couldn’t tell you why, or how, this has happened, but it has. It is making us stronger and I think that we are going through this for a reason.

“It is not a time to get down on ourselves or anything like that,” Taylor continued. “I think one major thing we can take away is to not ever let your last game dictate your next game. That’s the thing about this season… we always have another game until it ends. I think that Oregon didn’t start off too hot last year, and they ended up being second in the Pac-12 and having the Pac-12 Player of the Year, Joseph Young. It is stuff like that you can’t pay too much attention to and you have to move on.”

To have the success he hopes to achieve the rest of the season, Taylor realizes the importance of playing hard while still having fun in what will be a memorable year.

“I want to win the Pac-12 Tournament,” Taylor stated. “Being my last year, I want to win the Pac-12 championship and I want to be a Pac-12 first-teamer on the all-league team. Another goal for me is to go out there and have fun; to go out there, play hard and play smart. That’s all I can do.”

JON M. HUNTSMAN CENTER HOME OF THE RUNNIN’ UTES

R

egarded as one of the top college arenas in the nation since opening its doors in 1969, the Jon M. Huntsman Center has provided an imposing home advantage for Utah basketball the past 45 years.

A landmark on the U. campus, the Jon M. Huntsman Center is the perfect place to watch a sporting event. With 15,000 chair seats assuring a great view from anywhere in the arena, the Huntsman Center is the largest venue in the Pac-12 Conference.

Utah averaged 12,101 fans per home game in 2014-15, its highest mark since 2000-01. Nearly eight million fans have watched the Runnin’ Utes in the Huntsman Center, where the team is 576-141 (.803) all-time with winning home records in 40 of the last 41 seasons—including eight without a loss. Utah’s 575th victory in the building came on Feb. 15, 2015 as the Runnin’ Utes took down California, 76-61.

The Huntsman Center underwent a $6 million renovation in the summer of 2014. The original ceiling cloud was replaced with a super grid structure. Energy efficient LED arena lighting, which accommodates instant on and off, was installed. A new state-of-theart sound system and ceiling mounted sound panels provide greater clarity.

The project also included a draping system, offering a more intimate setting in the arena’s lower bowl for smaller events. New banners were hung to honor Utah’s all-time greatest teams and retired jerseys, and a maple wood floor was installed with an updated graphics and color scheme. New LED concourse lighting has been put in and the walls of the lower bowl were wrapped with new graphics.

A $1.3 million center-hung video board and scoreboard was installed in the fall of 2007. It features an LED ring by Optotech and four LCD video screens.

Underground tunnels stretching 2,220 feet

connect the arena with the Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility, the Sorenson High Performance Center, the Burbidge Athletics Academic Center, and the HPER complex.

Championship Venue

Long recognized as a site of championships, the Huntsman Center ranks third among the nation’s arenas for the most NCAA men’s basketball tournament basketball games hosted, with 81 contests having been played in the facility. The JMHC played host to the 1979 NCAA Basketball Championship “Dream Match-Up” featuring Indiana State’s Larry Bird

and Michigan State’s Magic Johnson.

The men’s NCAA regional tournament came to the Huntsman Center twice (1971 and ‘81). First and second round games took place 13 times (most recently in 2006). The JMHC has hosted NCAA women’s basketball first and second round games twice (2001 and ‘11).

Also a famous gymnastics venue, the Huntsman Center has hosted a record nine national gymnastics championships—one AIAW and eight NCAA Championships (most recently in 2007). Utah has also hosted 12 regional meets (most recently in 2012) and two Pac-12 Championships (most recently in 2015).

JON M. AND KAREN HUNTSMAN

BASKETBALL FACILITY

T

he Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility, a state-of-the-art, $36 million, 101,000-squarefoot 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.

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 12 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

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 is a fire pit, gas grill and Utah-themed patio furniture.

A series of existing tunnels connect 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.”

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.

UTAH TRADITIONS

T

he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council.

“What is a Ute?” The Utes are a great basin Indian tribe. The Utes were one of the first tribes to acquire the horse from the Spanish, which transformed their culture and enabled them to become resourceful and valiant. The Utes speak their own language that is derived from the Uto-Aztecan language family.

Currently, there are more than 3,000 Ute tribal members and half of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. The Utes are important contributors to Utah’s economy through

14 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

distribution of their energy resources and raising stock.

The Utah Pep Band, a 65-member group, keeps Utah fans’ spirits high in the stands at basketball, gymnastics and volleyball contests, performing for over 50 events a year to upwards of 75,000 people.

Like the Utah Marching Band, the Pep Band offers students the opportunity to serve as ambassadors for the U. at home games, as well as Pac-12 Conference and NCAA basketball tournament games. Both music and non-music majors perform contemporary, pop and jazz band music during time out slots at basketball games and during rotations at gymnastic meets, and before and after events at both, creating a lively, fun atmosphere.

The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark are illuminated primarily for athletic events and notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory).

Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000 feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system.

The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The name MUSS was originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (“… No other gang of college fans dare meet us in the muss”).

Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.” MUSS members are easily identified by their customized t-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game.

The MUSS turned 14 years old this season.

Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season.

Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2001 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U with their hands and raising it toward the sky.

ADMINISTRATION

Year at Utah: 29th 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President

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 29th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS.

Among Hill’s most monumental accomplishments was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure— five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team.

He 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).

20 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

L

arry Krystkowiak is entering his fifth year as the head coach of the Runnin’ Utes. Krystkowiak led the Utes to a 26-9 record, a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 and a No. 15 final national ranking during the 2014-15 season.

Utah was ranked in the top-25 for 19 weeks last season—its most time spent in the national polls since the Final Four campaign of 1997-98. Utah also had its best finish since joining the Pac-12, tying for second-place with a 13-5 conference mark, and reached the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament for the second time in three years.

The Utes defeated Stephen F. Austin and Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament before losing to eventual national champion Duke in the Sweet 16, 63-57.

The resurgence of Utah basketball under Krystkowiak has also ignited Utah’s fan base. The Utes averaged more than 12,000 fans to its home games last season, its highest attendance average since 2000-01.

Individually, Delon Wright won the Bob Cousy Award and was a Wooden All-American selection under Krystkowiak. The senior guard was also named a second team All-American by the USBWA and the NABC. Wright, along with junior guard Brandon Taylor

and freshman center Jakob Poeltl, garnered Pac-12 postseason honors.

The Utes have also excelled in the classroom with Taylor being named a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree and garnering Pac-12 All-Academic honors for a second year along with junior center Jeremy Olsen.

Senior Austin Eastman and sophomore Kenneth Ogbe were also honored, giving Utah four student-athletes on the squad last season and a total of nine over the past two years, both tops in the conference.

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 five-year contract extension that runs through the 2023-24 season.

In 2013-14, Krystkowiak guided the Utes to their first postseason appearance since 2009 and surpassed the 20-win mark.

Wright, in his first season under Krystkowiak’s tutelage, went on to earn first team All-Pac-12 and All-Defensive Team honors, a precedent for Utah men’s basketball in the conference of champions. Jordan Loveridge continued his development and finished among the top-12 in the league in scoring and rebounding and was Utah’s first Pac-12 Player of the Week.

In 2012-13, Krystkowiak led Utah to the Pac-12

LARRY KRYSTKOWIAK Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history and won two postseason games for the first time since winning the Mountain West Conference championship in 2009. The Utes also more than doubled their win total from the previous season by winning 15 games.

Jason Washburn was named honorable mention All-Pac-12 becoming the first Ute to receive postseason recognition since the team entered the league. Also,

Olsen was named to the Pac-12’s All-Academic First Team and became the first Ute to win scholastic honors since the switch in conferences.

Krystkowiak was introduced on April 4, 2011 as the new men’s basketball coach at the University of Utah and the man to lead the Runnin’ Utes into the next phase of their storied history. Krystkowiak, who has prior head coaching experience in the NCAA, CBA and NBA, left a position as an assistant coach with the New Jersey Nets to become the 15th head coach in Utah men’s basketball history.

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 with the Grizzlies’ 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 All-American 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 to No. 1 seed Washington in the NCAA First Round.

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

ASSISTANT COACHES

TOMMY CONNOR Associate Head Coach

T

ommy Connor is in his fifth year as a Utah assistant coach under head coach Larry Krystkowiak. During the summer of 2014, Connor was elevated to the title of associate head coach.

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 22 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

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. Westminster led the nation with the most NAIA Scholar Athletes in back-to-back years from 2009-2011.

Connor has been married to his wife Kathryn for over 25 years. He has a son, Jake, who will suit up for the Utes this season, as well as two daughters, Sydney and Cass.

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG

Verse I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.

Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far!

Chorus Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die.

Ki-yi!

Verse We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss.

No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I!

32 2015-16 UTAH BASKETBALL

Chorus (same) Verse And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.

No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.

Chorus (same) Verse We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

A PROGRAM ON THE RISE Pac-12 Conference

All 32 of Utah’s regular season games will be televised this year with 14 games on the Pac12 Networks, 16 on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU and two scheduled to air on Fox Sports 1. The 16 games televised on the ESPN family of networks is a school record, surpassing last season’s total of 14.

Utah became a member of the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011. Having earned the nickname “Conference of Champions,” the Pac-12 is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2015-16. 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 38 NCAA Final Four appearances, 92 consensus All-Americans, 17 National Players of the Year, and 25 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame members.

The Pac-12 has sent at least half of its teams on to postseason play 24 times in the last 26 years. During that time, 12 league players have garnered National Player of the Year or National Freshman of the Year honors.

The Next Level

Over the last eight years, 33 players from Pac12 teams have gone one to become first round NBA Draft picks—including four in 2015—with a total of 56 having been selected. Below is a breakdown of how the Pac-12 compared to other conferences in producing NBA talent in recent years.

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 student-athletes.

Utah’s multi-year Academic Performance Report (APR) released in May 2015 was a perfect 1000 for the second year in a row.

honorable mention all-defensive team selection. Poeltl was named to the All-Pac-12 freshmen team.

Television Exposure

The 2015-16 Pac-12 Conference men’s basketball television package features 224 contests telecast to national and regional audiences. Pac-12 Conference controlled games include 153 games aired on the Pac-12 Networks (including eight Pac-12 Tournament games), 44 on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, 23 games on FS1 (including three Pac-12 Tournament games) and two nationally each on FOX broadcast network and CBS. Additional appearances will be made through other conference television agreements and various inseason tournaments.

All-Pac-12

Delon Wright, Brandon Taylor and Jakob Poeltl earned postseason awards from the Pac-12 Conference in 2015. Wright was named to the All-Pac-12 first team and all-defensive team for the second year in a row. Wright became the first Ute to earn consecutive first team honors from a league since 2000. Taylor was named to the All-Pac-12 second team and was an

Jakob Poeltl

Brandon Taylor

Jeremy Olsen and Brandon Taylor were both named to the Pac-12 All-Academic first team in 201415. Austin Eastman made the second team and Kenneth Ogbe earned honorable mention. The Runnin’ Utes led all Pac-12 programs with two of the five players on the first team. Utah’s four student-athletes on the squad in 2014-15 and a total of nine over the past two years both pace the Pac-12 Conference. Taylor, who earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors for a second consecutive year, was also selected to the Capital One Academic All-District Men’s Basketball Team in 2013-14.

In 2013-14, the Utes improved their Graduation Success Rate (GSR) to 88 percent, tops among all Pac12 programs. The GSR is regarded as a more accurate reflection of athletic-academic success due to the fact it does not penalize an institution for student-athletes who transfer to another school while in good academic standing or go on missions, and it also tracks mid-year enrollees and some non-scholarship athletes.

As a team in 2013-14, the Utes had eight players named to the U.’s Academic Honor Roll (3.0 GPA) and four make the Dean’s List (3.5 GPA).

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.

TEAM TOGETHER RUNNIN’ UTES IN THE COMMUNITY

Utah players, coaches and staff took part in the Huntsman Cancer Center 5K run last fall.

T

he Utah men’s basketball team makes dozens of public appearances each year and gives back to the Salt Lake City community in numerous ways.

In the past year, the Runnin’ Utes have taken part in Utah Athletics’ Fan Fest, the University of Utah Healthcare cancer awareness event, the Huntsman Cancer Center 5K, Fan Appreciation Night at the Campus Store, delivering season tickets to Utah fans, and helping U. students move into the dorms through the Runnin’ Utes Move U event. They have also recently taken part in the U.’s Employee Appreciation Day, a MUSS and student lunchtime event on campus, a Holiday Food Drive with the Utah Food Bank, Christmas gift deliveries with the Utah Foster Care Foundation, visiting the VA Hospital, and delivering sandwiches and water on a regular basis to the homeless in Salt Lake City.

The basketball team has been involved with the MakeA-Wish Foundation.

Team Building

Runnin’ Ute players took part in the annual Fan Fest event last August at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

In close games and hostile environments, mental and physical toughness are critical for a team. With the goal of changing the team’s mindset, head coach Larry Krystkowiak has instituted some activities to the team’s offseason training regimen.

The past two years during the off-season, the Utes went through a Navy SEAL training course in order to toughen them up while also improving the way in which they work together.

The drills focused on cooperation and one of the big takeaways from the training was a traditional military axiom: “Two is one and one is none.”

The Runnin’ Utes went through a Navy SEAL training course in September.
