After an upset victory over the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday at Madison Square Garden by a score of 77-75 in overtime, the Runnin' Utes find themselves back in the AP Poll, sitting at No. 24. They are sitting just outside the top 25 in the Coaches Poll. The Utes dropped out of the rankings a couple of weeks back after getting beat by Wichita State.
Utah has gotten a couple nice resume building wins, and the then-No.7 Ranked Blue Devils is the best to date.
Utah next takes the floor Tuesday against Delaware State at the Jon M Huntsman Center.
