A Brief Look at the Series

Formerly the Mid-Continent Conference until last summer, The Summit League added three teams -- North Dakota State, South Dakota State and IPFW -- but Valparaiso opted to leave. Utah's record against current Summit League members is 12-1, with 11 of those meeting coming against in-state rival Southern Utah University (10-1). Utah is also 1-0 against IPFW and UMKC, respectively.
