Previous season

The Utes finished the 2023–24 season 22–15, 9–11 in Pac-12 play to finish in a tie for sixth place. As the No. 6 seed in the Pac-12 tournament, Utah won their first-round game against Arizona State before losing to Colorado in the quarterfinals.^[4] The team received a bid to the National Invitation Tournament, being the only Pac-12 team to accept one of two automatic bids for teams in the conference.^[5] This marked the program's first appearance in a postseason tournament since the 2018 NIT. They defeated UC Irvine, Iowa, and VCU to advance to the semifinals. There they were eliminated by Indiana State.^[6]

The season marked the team's final season in the Pac-12, leaving to join the Big 12 in 2024.
