Wednesday marks the final men’s basketball game of the season for Utah at home in Salt Lake City, and the Utes hope to book a flight to Indianapolis after that.

First the second-seeded Utes must get by Virginia Commonwealth in the NIT quarterfinals. The winner of this matchup moves on to the semifinals at the Hinkle Fieldhouse, on the campus of Butler, on April 2.

Utah (21-14) is coming off a 91-82 second-round win over Iowa on Sunday. Guard Deivon Smith notched his fourth triple-double of the season for Utah and Gabe Madsen scored a career-high 31 points in the win.
