The Utah women's basketball team had to move hotels in the middle of their NCAA Tournament experience. Here's why.

Utah coach Lynne Roberts as Utah hosts Stanford, NCAA basketball in Salt Lake City on Friday, Jan. 12, 2024.

But that good feeling changed during the first two rounds of the tournament. The team hotel was in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, despite Gonzaga — located in Spokane, Washington — being the host school. Roberts did not go into detail about exactly the team experienced. She said the team left Utah on Thursday, and the incidents happened Thursday night.

Roberts said her players not being able to feel safe during the tournament was “messed up.” She also said “no knew how to handle” what happened.
