TOP PAC-12 TOURNEY PLAY - ALMOST RATED A 10*!
(NCAAB) Utah vs. Washington, 03/09/2022 11:30 PM, Score: 70 - 82
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 Utah (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 9* PLAY on Utah.

Tis the third meeting of the year between the Utes and Huskies, and Utah plays with double revenge here.

Coming into this season though it was Washington that played with the revenge factor, as the Utes faced the Huskies in the first round of last year's PAC 12 tournament as well, and Utah held on for the 98-95 win. It was a crazy game, as Washington was down 19 with just 7 minutes and 30 seconds to go, and Utah had to hold on for dear life for the victory.

These teams have some good players. Utah was led by Branden Carlson in the two matchups this year with 15.8 points and 11 rebounds on average, while Terrell Brown Junior averaged 22.5 points for the Huskies in those two victories.

The winner of this game will go on to face the third-seeded USC Trojans. I think Utah will rally here and answer for the two regular season losses and that'll set up a rematch of last year's PAC 12 quarterfinals between USC and Utah.

Washington averages 70.6 points per game this year, and Utah averages 69.7.

I think this game is going to be decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, and because of that I'm going to grab the handful of points with the UTES on Wednesday night!

Good luck, NP
