Utah Men's & Women's Basketball Hosts Double Header Friday

The undefeated Utah Men's & Women's Basketball teams are hosting a basketball double header Friday at the Huntsman Center.

Starting at 3:30 p.m, pick up your free Basketball MUSS t-shirt and get free hot dogs and drinks before the Women's Basketball game that starts at 4:30 p.m.  After the game is over, the Men's team will tip off against Sacramento State at 7 p.m.  All University of Utah students get in free with their U-Card and can bring up to four non-student guests to each game.

The Runnin' Utes opened the season with an impressive 104-47 rout of Divison III opponent Willamett.  It gets much tougher Friday as they face Sacramento State, a Division I opponent that is off to a (2-0) start.  It isn't Pac-12 competition, but it should be a nice early test for the improved Runnin' Utes.

The Women's team is off to a (2-0) start, coming off an 18 point win over Southern Utah University.  They also face their toughest challenge of the season, hosting Big 10 opponent (2-0) Michigan.  The Utes lost in Ann Arbor last season 55-50 and will be looking to avenge their loss in front of the home crowd.

Arrive early, wear your free Basketball MUSS Shirt and stand on the front rows of the MUSS to help give Utah a great home court advantage.
