Utah Utes Women’s Basketball History

The Utah Utes women's basketball team launched in 1974 within the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) as a member of the Intermountain Athletic Conference. Utah appeared in three consecutive AIAW tournaments between 1976 and 1978 and has netted 17 appearances in its postseason successor, the women’s NCAA Tournament. In the current tournament format, the Utes have advanced to the Sweet Sixteen three times, in 2001, 2006 and 2023, with their 2006 campaign ending in the Elite Eight. In 2024, Utah played through the Second Round.

In 1982, Utah departed the Intermountain Athletic Conference for the High Country Athletic Conference, then transferred to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 1990, the Mountain West Conference in 1999 and the Pac-12 Conference in 2011. Beginning in 2024, the Utes will compete in the Big 12 Conference. Across affiliations, the Utah Utes women’s basketball team has claimed 17 regular season conference titles and eight conference tournament championships. The team has also housed six future WNBA draft picks: Megan Huff, Shona Thorburn, Kim Smith, Leilani Mitchell, Morgan Warburton and Michelle Plouffe.
