The 1960–61 Utah Redskins men's basketball team represented the University of Utah in the 1965-66 season. Head coach Jack Gardner would lead the Utes to a Mountain States Athletic Conference championship and the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. Their final game of the season, which was a quadruple-overtime third place game against Saint Joseph's University, was later rescinded by Saint Joseph's team and stricken from the record books days after the game was finished due to it being discovered that three of the Hawks' players were discovered to have been involved with the 1961 NCAA University Division men's basketball gambling scandal.[1] Following that scandal coming to light, it was said that some of Utah's players would testify in court against the main perpatrator of the scandal, former NBA All-Star Jack Molinas.[2] The team finished with an overall record of 23–8 (12–2 MSAC).
