In addition, the Runnin’ Utes will play in the Fort Myers Tip-Off in Florida during Thanksgiving week.
That will be an eight-team event, with Utah in a division alongside Georgia Tech, Marquette and Mississippi State.
Also, the Runnin’ Utes’ game against TCU will be played at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, home of the Utah Jazz.
It is believed to be the first time Utah will face a team in that venue from outside the Beehive State.
