March Madness Hits Salt Lake City

The Utes are on spring break this week, so not much team activity to write about...Howver, March is here and that means NCAA Hoops tournaments...and the madness has certainly spread to the U...

Both the men's and women's basketball teams won both the regular season and Mountain West Conference tournament titles...WOW!

So both teams were happy to find out their tournament sight and opponent.
First, on Sunday, the men's team gathered to watch the selection show on CBS...their name came up early and they will be the #5 seed in the Midwest Regional...they will play the #12 seed University of Arizona on Friday evening (5:00 PM Mountain time) in Miami! If they win, they will face the winner of the Wake Forest-Cleveland State game on Sunday.

The women's team found out their fate this evening...they got a #9 seed and will face #8 Villanova on Sunday (March 22) at 10 AM Mountain Time in Raleigh, North Carolina. The winner will face either #1 Maryland or #16 Dartmouth on Tuesday.
