Utah basketball’s schedule for its last go-around in the Pac-12 Conference is set.

The nonconference schedule highlights include games against Wake Forest, Saint Mary’s, BYU and UVU.

The Runnin’ Utes play Wake Forest in the Shriners Children’s Hospital Charleston Classic in Charleston, South Carolina, on Nov. 16. If Utah wins that game, it would advance to the semifinals, where it would play Houston.

Utah travels to Saint Mary’s on Nov. 27 for its first meeting with the Gaels since 2018. The Utes host BYU on Dec. 9 and Utah Valley on Dec. 16.

There’s an open spot on Utah’s schedule, on Nov. 30, which hasn’t been filled yet.
