Result: Win
Western Kentucky vs Utah 7:00 ET
Hilltoppers over Utes- At this time of the year we get so many match-ups between schools that have no chance of meetings during the regular season and this is one of them. Utah is now a part of the Pac-12 and fared well going 22-11 on the season with an excellent ATS record of 19-11. When comparing teams from the other part of the country I look to see how they did on the road and at neutral sites. Western Kentucky at 27-10 has managed to go 15-8 on away and neutral courts while the Utes are just 6-6 straight-up and only 4-9 ATS as an underdog (line opened W.Ky -1.5). Utah shot exceptionally well with the long ball at 47.5% during the NIT and have played a much tougher schedule and game competition counts. Take UTAH!
