(NCAAB) California vs. Utah, 03/02/2017 6:00 PM, Score: 44 - 74
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Utah (Home)
Result: Win
The first meeting went into 2OT and Utah had 19 turnovers in that game and played sloppy. I expect them to be much better and focused at home tonight. Utah needs the win to avoid the possibility of falling squarely on the March Madness bubble heading into the conference tournament next week. The Utes dominated most of the first matchup at Berkeley before falling apart. They controlled the boards and got to the FT line. Utah is #11 in free throw shooting but #5 in field goal shooting defense. They also dominated in the paint and I believe their superior size to be the difference maker here on Thursday night.
