Southern Utah Thunderbirds (ATS) ..

Even though playing on the road has been a struggle for the Thunderbirds, its getting very late in the season and I believe that SUU will do everything in its power to improve its seed and try and avoid an #8/#9 matchup in the opening round of the WAC tournament. Other than the teams that play in that game, everyone else in the conference will play the same amount of games in the tournament which would be huge for a team like SUU.

Abilene Christian is still two games ahead of Southern Utah which will make it difficult. However, the Wildcats are not very good in my opinion. Despite being off three consecutive wins, they've had rebounding issues this season averaging 30.3 RPG. That's not going to cut it against taller teams when times get tough. I think that ACU will have a much harder time this time around as the stats show that these teams are fairly equal. Expect the Thunderbirds to cover ATS this evening.

Score Prediction: 72-70 ACU.
