It's been almost 30 years since a Utah team has made a men's Final Four appearance.
The big picture: A review of bracket history shows the longtime dominance of college basketball's "blue blood" programs — always useful knowledge when filling out your bracket — but there's always the potential for lesser-known schools to make a deep run.
Zoom in: The University of Utah's men's basketball team has reached the Final Four in the men's NCAA basketball tournament four times (1944, 1961, 1966, 1998).
Yes, but: 23 states, including Utah, have been shut out of the women's Final Four.
That's mainly because the women's tournament began 43 years after the first men's event.
What we're watching: The Utah State Aggies face UCLA in the first round on March 20. BYU men's team will challenge VCU the same day.
Meanwhile, the Utah women's basketball team will compete against Indiana on March 21.
