MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW Krystkowiak Begins Eighth Season at the Runnin’ Utes Helm

Sedrick Barfield is Utah’s top returner in points (12.0 ppg) and assist (2.5 apg) from last season.

Utah coming off NIT Championship appearance from a year ago By Dameon Myres Associate Director – Utah Athletics Communications Another season, another preseason pick in the middle of the pack. This is nothing new for Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak, as his squad has been picked to finish seventh or worse in the preseason media poll for a third straight campaign and sixth out of the previous eight years. The Utes, who were picked to finish eighth in the 2018-19 preseason poll, have overcome those odds in all seven seasons under Krystkowiak. Utah has finished tied or ahead of its preseason prediction the past seven years. When Utah joined the league in 2011-12, the Utes were picked to finish 12th,

but finished 11th overall. Utah was again picked to finish 12th in 2012-13, but earned a 10th-place finish that season. After being picked to finish ninth in 201314, the Utes tied for eighth-place and then in 2014-15 after earning a second-place nod, Utah would go on and finish in a tie for second-place. The Utes were picked to finish third in 2015-16, but finished in sole possession of second-place that season. A year after, Utah was tabbed to finish in eighth in 2016-17, but earned a fourth-place finish and third-consecutive first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament. After finishing 20-12 overall in 2016-17, the Utes were picked to finish seventh last season, but opened Pac-12 play with a pair of road wins and would go on to finish in a tie for third-place with a league record of 11-7. Utah would earn an at-large bid to the NIT a year ago and would go on to win four straight games and earn a berth into the championship game, which was

held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Despite falling to Penn State in the championship game, Krystkowiak felt that the experience the team gained would be crucial to the upcoming 2018-19 season. Utah lost four seniors from a season ago and bring in a whole slew of new players into the mix. Maybe that is why the Utes were picked to finish eighth in the league. “I think this league’s got a lot of great teams,” said Krystkowiak. “When you start going down the list there are a lot of great coaches, too. The preseason polls have always been something that are interesting. I believe we finished—the two years when we first started, we were picked 12th both years, and I think we probably set an all-time record for a distant 12th. As 12th as 12th can be, and we managed to finish 10th one of those years and 11th, the other. “I don’t mind. I’m comfortable kind of being the arrow rather than the target. A couple of years we were picked second, that was kind of new territory for us. So it’s that time of year where the media, whoever the parties that be, need to come up with their list to give somebody to talk about, something to talk about, and we lost a lot. We lost four seniors that played a lot and accomplished a lot. So from a roster point of view, I’d say we’re somewhere in the middle. Eighth is not in the bottom four, so we’re somewhere in the middle. Past results are no indication of future performance. So we don’t pay too much attention about it. I think our guys are inspired. We’re going to stay humble and hungry and look forward to getting it started.” The Utes did lose a lot. In fact, Utah returns only 36 percent of its scoring from a season ago, as well as just 41 percent of total minutes played. That is 68 percent scoring lost, with a majority of it coming from outgoing seniors Justin Bibbins, David Collette and Tyler Rawson. Despite the drop-off, Utah does manage to return a total of nine players from last season’s NIT national runner-up team, which includes starters Sedrick Barefield and Parker Van Dyke. Both Barefield and Van Dyke will be two of three seniors for the Utes, as Utah added Novak Topalovic to the squad as a graduate transfer from Idaho State. Utah juniors returning to the team are Jayce Johnson, Beau Rydalch and Marc Reinengier. Donnie Tillman and Christian Popoola return to the team as the lone two sophomores on the squad, while Vante Hendrix and Brooks King will suit up as redshirt freshmen this upcoming season. Utah welcomes a total of nine newcomers to the team. Along with Topalovic, Charles Jones Jr., transfers as a junior to the team from College of Southern Idaho, while Brandon Morley joins the


MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW team after playing at nearby Salt Lake Community College in 2016-17. Incoming freshmen on the team include Naseem Gaskin, Both Gach, Kevin Kremer, Timmy Allen, Riley Battin and Lahat Thioune. “I’ve been here for a while and kind of know the system, know what the coaches want, what they expect and I’ve got a good feel about different players that I’ve played with and I’ve got a good feeling about the guys around us,” Barefield said about his leadership role with the group. “So I just feel like I have a little bit of knowledge that I can pass to them as a senior.” This year’s squad has a lot of “unknowns”, but that doesn’t seem to bother the coaching staff. “I am really fired up about the group of young men that we have brought in,” said Krystkowiak. “This is a special and balanced recruiting class that possesses high character, both on and off the court. I’ll tell you, we’ve got a really solid freshman class. We’ve got basically one in every position, one through five. Junior College Player of the Year in Charles Jones and then a really solid grad-transfer in Novak Topalovic, from Idaho State. “I’ve been really impressed with Timmy Allen out of Arizona. And unlike maybe a lot of freshmen, I think, from a coaching perspective, most times kids aren’t ready to play because they don’t get the demands on the defensive end, and Timmy’s light years ahead of that. So I could see him being in the mix for sure. Riley Battin out of California is making nice progress and so is Both Gach out of Minnesota. I think we’re going to see a lot of these new faces playing. The freshmen are capable to play. We’re excited about it.” Unlike most seasons, this year’s squad will be tested right away as the Utes will battle with one of its toughest non-conference schedules since Krystkowiak took over in 2011-12. Utah’s non-conference slate includes six home contests, trips to both Minneapolis, Minn., and Lexington, Ky., and the Utes playing in the Wooden Legacy Classic in Fullerton, Calif. Overall, Utah will face a pair of potential top-five ranked teams early on, and could face as many as four teams from last season’s NCAA Tournament. The Utes open the 2018-19 campaign with a home contest against Maine on Thursday, Nov. 8, and will then make its first road trip of the season with a game at Minnesota (Nov. 12). Utah returns home to host Mississippi Valley State (Nov. 15) before hitting the road again to compete in the Wooden Legacy (Nov. 22-15), which will be played in Fullerton, Calif. Utah returns home to open the month of December with a contest against Tulsa (Dec. 1). Following a neutral contest at Vivint Smart Home Arena against BYU (Dec. 8), Utah returns to the road to take on the Kentucky Wildcats (Dec. 15) at legendary

Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., on Saturday, Dec. 15. The Utes return home to round out its non-conference slate with three consecutive home contests against Florida A&M (Dec. 17), Northern Arizona (Dec. 21) and a potential top-five-ranked Nevada (Dec. 29). “I think schedule-wise, each year as a coach you try to predict where you are, what your team’s ready for, and I feel like our program’s established at this point,” said Krystkowiak. “We may be young, but established and ready for it. I’ve said it before, this is kind of what we all signed up for. When I sit back and reflect on -- this is year eight, our players want to play elite competition. I think fans want to watch elite competition. It’s always a fine line. “The same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry if you don’t win some of those games, but I know you can’t get marquee wins if you don’t play them. We do have a very difficult schedule for the next, not just this year, but upcoming years, and kind of made the plan to bump it up. I think that’s -- when you’re watching, that’s what it’s all about right now. The RPI’s out the window, and you need some quality wins. So we’re going to do what we can to try to Garner some of those wins.”

For the second consecutive season, Utah will open Pac-12 play on the road, but this time heading to the desert to face both Arizona State (Jan. 3) and Arizona (Jan. 5). Both Pac-12-opening games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks. Other Pac-12 Networks conference games for the Utes will include home contests against Washington State (Jan. 12), Oregon State (Feb. 2) and UCLA (Mar. 9). The Utes will play Pac-12 Networks televised games on the road against Stanford (Jan. 24), USC (Feb. 6) and Washington State (Feb. 23). Utah’s first Pac-12 game to be televised on FS1 will take place against Washington (Jan. 10) inside the Huntsman Center. Other home contests to be aired on FS1 will be games against Oregon (Jan. 31), Arizona State (Feb. 16) and USC (Mar. 7). Utah’s lone road game televised on FS1 will be against Washington (Feb. 20), but the Utes will play nationally on Fox, when they face UCLA (Feb. 9) on the road. Pac-12 home games the Utes will play on the ESPN family of networks include taking on Colorado (Jan. 20) and Arizona (Feb. 16). Utah will also play on ESPN networks when playing on the road at California (Jan. 26) and at Colorado (Mar. 2).

JON M. HUNTSMAN CENTER CHAMPIONSHIP VENUE

Regarded 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 teams the past 47 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 (8,400 for volleyball and women’s basketball with lower bowl seating only) assuring a great view from anywhere in the arena, the Huntsman Center is the largest venue in the Pac-12 Conference. More than eight million fans have watched the Runnin’ Utes in the Huntsman Center, where the team is 593-145 (.803) all-time with winning records in 42 of the last 43 seasons—including eight undefeated campaigns. Utah attracted a total of 216,914 fans for an average of 12,051 per contest in 2016-17. The Utes have drawn more than 200,000 fans inside the Huntsman Center in each of the past four seasons. New to the Huntsman Center in 2017-18 were a newly-designed center-hung video display system, four new corner boards hung from the ceiling structure and four boards on the walls of the lower bowl, totaling $4.1 million. 10

2018-19 UTAH BASKETBALL

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. The locker rooms have also been renovated in recent years, funded in part by donations from former Ute basketball AllAmericans Andrew Bogut and Andre Miller totaling $325,000. Underground tunnels stretching 2,220 feet connect the arena with the four-building HPER complex, which underwent a renovation before the 2015-16 season. The $36 million project included the new Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Center, which houses the men’s and women’s basketball programs, and the Sorenson Legacy Foundation High Performance Center, a state-of-the-art sports medicine and strength & conditioning facility.

The Jon M. Huntsman Center has been long recognized as a site of NCAA Championship events. In men’s basketball, the Huntsman Center ranks third among the nation’s arenas for the most NCAA Tournament 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). Also a famous women’s 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 14 regional meets (most recently in 2018) and two Pac-12 Championships (most recently in 2015). Women’s basketball has hosted NCAA tournament first and second round games in 2001 and 2011. The NCAA women’s volleyball tournament visited the Huntsman Center for the first time in 2017 with the Utes winning the Salt Lake Sub-Regional.

JON M. & KAREN HUNTSMAN BASKETBALL FACILITY

The 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. Both teams have separate theaters complete with projection screens and whiteboard walls, as well as player lounges with six 55-inch televisions, custom-built 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.” 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

The 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 Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility.

The 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

The 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.

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, creating a lively, fun atmosphere.

“What is a Ute?” The Utes are an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute Verse defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. People.” Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, There are four Ute tribes: The Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near Northern and White Mesa Tribes are and far! based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Chorus Northern Utes are most closely affiliated Who am I, sir, with the University of Utah and have a A Utah Man/Fan am I! tribal membership of around 3,000. Many A Utah Man/Fan, sir, of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Will be ‘til I die. reservation. The Utes operate their own Ki-yi! tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate Verse several businesses. We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. The Utah Pep Band, a 65-member No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. group, keeps Utah fans’ spirits high in So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, the stands at basketball, gymnastics and We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I! volleyball contests, performing for over 50 events a year.

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 to 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-square 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, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, 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 rival band of college fans dare meet us in the muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.” The MUSS turns 17 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.

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!


The UTES are driven by the desire to be the best. We are...

MARK HARLAN

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS | 1ST YEAR Mark Harlan, a veteran administrator with Pac-12 ties, was named director of athletics at the University of Utah on June 1, 2018. Harlan, who assumes the helm of Utah athletics after four years as the athletics director at the University of South Florida, brings more than 20 years of athletics administration experience at five universities to his new post. Prior to his appointment at USF in 2014, Harlan served as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at UCLA, senior vice president for central development at Arizona, senior associate athletics director at San Jose State and associate athletics director at Northern Colorado. Most recently, the Los Angeles native spearheaded record competitive, academic and fundraising accomplishments at South Florida, while also negotiating new multimedia rights and apparel partnerships. In his tenure at USF, the Bulls won 14 American Athletic Conference titles. Nine USF programs ranked in the top 25 in 2015-16 when the Bulls led the AAC in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. The football program, which went 2-10 the year before Harlan’s hiring, surged to a 21-4 record in his last two years, including a school-record 11 wins in 2016. The Bulls made three straight bowl appearances from 2015-17–beating bowl opponents from the SEC and Big 12 in 2016 (South Carolina) and 2017 (Texas Tech). They appeared in the final AP poll for the first time in 2016, when they were ranked No. 19 in both the AP and Coaches’ polls. In 2017, Harlan hire Charlie Strong led the Bulls to a 10-2 record and a No. 21 final ranking. Other USF teams also excelled nationally under Harlan’s oversight. In 2015, the men’s golf and tennis teams reached the NCAA quarterfinals and round of 16, 18

2018-19 UTAH BASKETBALL

respectively—the best NCAA finishes in both programs’ history. Women’s basketball also appeared in the top 25 and played in the NCAA Tournament all four years with Harlan as the AD. Women’s soccer won its first conference title in 2017 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament three times, while the baseball team returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years in 2015. They both earned top-25 rankings, as did softball, men’s soccer and sailing. In the classroom, USF student-athletes set school marks for combined grade-point average and Graduation Success Rate (GSR). In the fall of 2017, USF opened the Fishman Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center, a $750,000 facility dedicated to academic achievement and student-athlete welfare. Under Harlan’s guidance, USF Athletics saw a 300-percent increase in major giving and had the best fundraising year in school history in 2016-17, attracting $15 million. His announcement of plans for a new $40-million on-campus football center was soon followed by an $8 million gift to athletics—the largest in program history. Harlan also negotiated a 10-year multimedia rights partnership with Tampa Bay Entertainment Properties, struck an eight-year partnership with adidas as the official footwear, apparel and accessory brand of the Bulls and oversaw a restructure of the school’s athletic brand. He has been named to several influential committees and is currently serving on the NCAA Division I Council Transfer Working Group and the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee. He chaired the American Athletic Conference Athletic Directors Committee in 2017-18, and as the vice chair in 2016, played a key role in developing the conference’s strategic plan. As a former member of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Committee, Harlan assisted in bringing major events such as the CFP National Championship, NCAA Women’s Final Four and NHL AllStar game to Tampa Bay. Harlan came to USF after serving as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at

UCLA from 2010-14, where his oversight responsibilities included the men’s basketball program, development, communications, marketing, ticket sales, sponsorships, multimedia rights and alumni affairs. While at UCLA, Harlan reorganized the structure of the major giving program and the annual fund, which resulted in a record number of donors and dollars raised in 2013. He successfully managed completion of a $137 million campaign to renovate iconic Pauley Pavilion in 2012. Harlan was also heavily involved in the negotiations with the City of Pasadena to enable a $200 million renovation of the Rose Bowl Stadium. Harlan left for UCLA after four years as the senior vice president for central development at the University of Arizona Foundation from 2006-10. Under Harlan’s direction, the Foundation posted two record years in funds raised and in the number of gifts processed on behalf of the university. He moved into central development at Arizona after over a decade working in the Wildcat athletic department. He held a variety of roles in athletics, serving as the assistant coordinator for football recruiting and operations (1992-94), program coordinator for event management (1994-97), director of operations (1997-2000), director of annual development (2000-02) and assistant athletics director for development and marketing (2002-04). Harlan’s background also includes one-year stints as senior associate athletics director for external operations at San Jose State (2005-06) and associate athletics director for external operations at Northern Colorado (2004-05). At SJSU, he launched a planned giving program that generated $8 million in estate gifts directed toward student-athlete scholarship endowments. At Northern Colorado, he played a key role in the school’s transition to NCAA Division I and the Big Sky Conference. Harlan, 48, earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in education from Arizona. He and his wife Carolyn have two children: Savannah (13) and Austin (10).

LARRY KRYSTKOWIAK

HEAD COACH – 8TH SEASON Larry Krystkowiak is in his eighth season as Utah’s head coach and has led the Runnin’ Utes to five consecutive postseason appearances, which includes a NIT championship final run in 2017-18. Krystkowiak has tallied more than 135 wins over the course of his first seven seasons in Salt Lake City, and to label his rebuilding of the program anything but successful, would be an understatement. In his now seven seasons as head coach, Krystkowiak has accumulated 138 victories, which includes five consecutive 20-win seasons, a pair of NCAA Tournament berths, and three NIT appearances. Under Krystkowiak’s leadership, Utah became the only school in the Pac-12 to have a player selected in the first round of the NBA Draft from 2015-17. Along with Delon Wright (2015, No. 20) and Jakob Poeltl (2016, No. 9), Kyle Kuzma went No. 27 overall to the New Jersey Nets in the 2017 NBA Draft. Kuzma was later traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Utes still managed to secure a firstround pick in three straight seasons for the first time since 1997-99 when Keith Van Horn went second overall in 1997, followed by the selections of Michael Doleac (1998) and Andre Miller (1999). The Utes exceeded all expectations in 2017-18, going 23-12 overall and finishing third in the Pac-12 Conference. The Utes were picked to finish seventh in the Pac-12 standings, but opened league-play with consecutive road wins at Oregon and Oregon State, on the way to an 11-7 mark and the No. 3 seed in the Pac-12 Championship Tournament. Utah then played in its third NIT under

Krystkowiak and made a deep run in the tournament, advancing to the championship final in New York. Utah would fall to Penn State in the championship game, but along the way Utah won four contests in the tournament, including a pair of home wins and a road victory at a then top-25-ranked Saint Mary’s team. The Utes would then go on to win its NIT Final Four semifinal contest over Western Kentucky before facing PSU in the final. 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 in sole possession of fourth-place in the conference standings. Krystkowiak helped guide Utah to a 27-9 overall record in 2015-16, which also led to his being named the US Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) District VIII Coach of the Year. The 2015-16 regular season concluded with Poeltl, a sophomore, earning Pac-12 Player of the Year

honors – the program’s first POY since 2009 – and senior Brandon Taylor earning the program’s first-ever Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. 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. Krystkowiak led the Utes to a 26-9 record, a berth in the Sweet 16 and a No. 15 final national ranking in 2014-15. 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. Utah also had its best finish since joining the Pac-12, placing third with a 13-5 conference mark and reaching 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.


LARRY KRYSTKOWIAK Individually, 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, Taylor, and freshman center, Poeltl garnered Pac-12 postseason honors. 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 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. 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 as the Grizzlies’ from 2004-06 before joining the NBA coaching ranks. Krystkowiak spent 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. 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 (198892), Utah (1992-93), Orlando (1993-94), Chicago (1994-96) and the Los Angeles Lakers (1996).

TOMMY CONNOR Associate Head Coach Tommy Connor is in his eighth 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 reinstated prior to the 1999-2000 season. Under Connor, Westminster posted 10 seasons with at least 20 wins, including nine straight from 20022011. 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.

UTAH’S GREATEST TOP TEAMS AAU National Champions – 1916

NCAA Runner-Up – 1998

»

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.

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 TOURNAMENT SUCCESS NCAA Champions – 1944

»

Final Four 1944, 1961, 1966, 1998 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.

IN THE COMMUNITY

The Utes were on hand for the U.’s Employee Appreciation Day last fall.

Ute players participated in the annual Fan Fest event last August at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

The Utah basketball team makes dozens of public appearances each year and gives back to the Salt Lake City community in numerous ways. The Runnin’ Utes have taken part in Utah Athletics’ Fan Fest, the U.’s Employee Appreciation Day, University of Utah Healthcare’s cancer awareness event, the Huntsman Cancer Institute 5K, Fan

Appreciation Night at the Utah Red Zone campus store, the Utah Food Bank’s Holiday Food Drive, Christmas gift deliveries with the Utah Foster Care Foundation, visiting the VA Hospital, delivering season tickets to Ute fans, helping U. students move into the dorms, delivering sandwiches and water to the homeless in Salt Lake City, and partnering with Team IMPACT.

The Runnin’ Utes took part in the Huntsman Cancer Institute 5K last June.

A PROGRAM ON THE RISE Players of the Year. The Pac-12 has sent at least half of its teams on to postseason play 27 times in the last 29 years. During that time, 13 league players have garnered National Player of the Year or National Freshman of the Year honors.

ALL-PAC-12 UTES

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 2017-18. Beyond the courts and fields, the Pac-12’s accomplishments extend into the classrooms across 12 campuses, and outside its traditional geographic footprint into new corners around the world. Spanning over a century of outstanding athletics achievements, the Pac-12 has claimed 513 NCAA Championships (300 men’s, 183 women’s, 30 combined), over 200 more than the next closest league. 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, 94 consensus first-team All-Americans and 17 National

2018-19 UTAH BASKETBALL

Utah has had five All-Pac-12 first team selections over the last five seasons. Delon Wright started the run in 2014 and ’15, followed by Jakob Poeltl in 2016, Kyle Kuzma in 2017 and Justin Bibbins in 2018. Poeltl was named 2015-16 Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year and Brandon Taylor was tabbed the league’s 2015-16 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

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 posted the third-highest multi-year APR score in the Pac-12 of 985 in 2016-17. The graduation success rate

of Utah basketball players within six years from the time they enrolled as freshmen is 100 percent. Utah ranked tied for second among league schools with two players on the Academic AllPac-12 first or second teams in 2017-18. Parker Van Dyke and Jayce Johnson were both named second-team selections and David Collette earned honorable mention. Over the last six years, Utah has placed 13 players on either the Pac-12 All-Academic first or second teams, and seven others have earned honorable mention. Brandon Taylor and Jeremey Olsen were both three-time Pac-12 All-Academic first-team selections.

SCHOLARSHIP CIRCLE

The Scholarship Circle is a group of Crimson Club Fund 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 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.

UTE PLAYER PROFILE

Born to Be a Runnin’ Ute

Beau Rydalch has played in 15 games the last two seasons for the Runnin’ Utes.

Beau Rydalch, whose father and uncle preceded him in the Utah program, prepares for his final season. By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications For fans who have followed the Utah men’s basketball program dating back to the Rick Majerus era, the last name Rydalch may sound familiar. Current Utah guard Beau Rydalch has a strong lineage in the

Utah basketball program, with his father Craig and uncle Mark also playing for the Runnin’ Utes and serving as team captains in the early 1990s. Now, nearly 30 years later, the University of Utah still remains a special place for the Rydalch family. “I grew up going to basketball and football games here,” said Beau Rydalch. “I have always been a

Utah fan and dreamed of playing here. Through high school, I didn’t really think it was a possibility. Utah offered me a preferred walk-on spot, and I committed before I left on my mission. It really has been a dream come true to be honest. I talk with the coaches all the time and I’ve told them that sometimes even being a player here, I am an even bigger fan.” Rydalch grew up a little less than an hour away from Salt Lake City, residing in Oakley, Utah, where he attended South Summit High School. Rydalch earned 2A all-state honors three times during his time there. During his senior year, Rydalch shot 56 percent from the field and 42 percent from behind the arc to help lead South Summit to a third-place finish at the state tournament. “I came home a couple months early from my mission in Ecuador because I had to be enrolled for summer classes for basketball,” Rydalch stated. “I came back feeling like I wasn’t as good as I was when I left, and at the same time I was also playing at a much higher level than I had ever played at. Transitioning back, being out of shape, playing a higher-paced game with better players, it was just all really hard.” Rydalch has been faced with back injuries throughout his time in college and has seen limited playing time. However, the junior guard has not let anything get in his way of becoming a leader on the team, just like his father and uncle were. “I feel like my role on the team is to be very vocal,” Rydalch said. “I try to be as positive as possible with everybody. A lot of times there are little cliques that happen here and there, and I am the one that brings everyone together. I have a good relationship with everyone. I know how things go and I have been here for some time now. I think the guys have confidence that I know what is going on and how I can help them. I know how the coaching staff reacts to different things, what their methods are, and how they get at people. I think our younger guys look to me for positive reinforcement, but also teaching and coaching at the same time.” Entering his third season on the team, Rydalch has made the tough decision to have this year be his last as a Runnin’ Ute. Academically, Rydalch has the opportunity to graduate in just three years and plans to finish his undergraduate degree in the spring of 2019. “On one side, it is going to be really hard leaving because I love it here so much,” Rydalch said. “On the other side, I also feel like it is time because I am graduating, and my body is just getting too old, especially my back. After basketball, I plan on getting a master’s in hospital administration and working a little bit in the hospital beforehand, doing some medical translating in Spanish.”

Father Knows Best

Sophomore Christian Popoola played in 17 games as a freshman with the Runnin’ Utes last season.

At the behest of his dad, Christian Popoola got off his skateboard and turned his focus to basketball. By Riley Elliott Utah Athletics Communications Growing up in California, basketball was not Christian Popoola’s sport of choice. An avid skateboarder, Popoola spent most of his time cruising around the streets with his friends. That was, until his father changed his mind about giving basketball a chance. “I started playing basketball when I was in the sixth grade,” Popoola recalled. “I started playing because I used to be a skateboarder, and my dad 72

convinced me that playing basketball would provide me with a better future. It would give me the opportunity to have my education paid for and maybe even take me somewhere like the NBA.” Once he committed to giving the sport a chance, Popoola’s game took off and he started realizing his potential in basketball as he reached the eighth grade. Popoola attended camps, practiced every day and worked out in the gym as much as he could. He started his high school career at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, where he was a part of the state championship team as a freshman. When

his father moved to Utah for work, Popoola attended Lone Peak High School for his sophomore season. “Playing at Lone Peak was probably my favorite year of basketball. It was very exciting, and playing for coach Quincy was really fun,” said Popoola. “It was me, Frank Jackson and a couple other players that were pretty good. That was the closest team that I’ve ever been a part of though, and it was a great experience.” Following his sophomore year with Lone Peak, Popoola moved back to Las Vegas to finish his high school career with Bishop Gorman. With the Gaels, he was able to help his team win two more state championships as a junior and senior, averaging 16 points and seven assists per game during his final year with the school. “Every year at Bishop Gorman was good. We won three state championships while I was playing there. We were picked as the favorite every year, but it’s a different feeling just to be able to accomplish something like that,” said Popoola. With his success at Bishop Gorman, Popoola was a heavily-recruited player who received offers from all over the country. Before he ultimately decided to play for the University of Utah, Popoola verbally committed to BYU. “I felt like I really rushed my recruiting process and started feeling a lot of pressure to sign with them. At the time, I really just wasn’t ready to do that, so I reopened my recruiting,” Popoola explained. “They were also talking about exploring other options, then Utah came around a little bit later and the rest is history.” Even though he lived in Utah for only a short period of time, Popoola was pretty familiar with the Runnin’ Ute program. He attend some Utah camps and took part in pickup games with the team whenever he could. The program grew on him as he advanced through high school. In addition to Utah being a power-five conference school, there were other reasons that Popoola decided to become a Ute. “Honestly, what inspired me the most to come here was the culture and the people,” explained Popoola. “I felt that this was a place where they wouldn’t sugarcoat anything and they would keep it completely honest with me as I grew.” As a true freshman in his first season with Utah, Popoola saw action in 17 games. “Last season was a special year for me, especially since it was my first year and we had a lot of seniors. I was just able to learn so much last year, just about how a team works,” said Popoola. “I learned how to lead, especially from guys like Justin Bibbons and David Collete. There were a lot of ups and downs for me personally, but as a player I really just learned a lot and took it all in.”
