Play On: UT-Arlington +6.0

UT-Arlington enters this WAC Championship Game on an 8-game win streak which also saw them cover in 7 of those contests with an average victory margin of 14.5 points per contest. UTA will be playing with double revenge after losing both regular season matchups to Grand Canyon by 6 and 7-points. However, when looking inside the numbers of those 2 results I uncovered a real oddity that attributed to Grand Canyon wins. They were awarded an astronomically high 72 free throws combined and converted on an exceptional 81.9% of those opportunities as well. Otherwise, UTA held them to a combined 33.6% shooting from the flor in those head-to-head meetings. UTA has also gone an extremely profitable 17-4-1 ATS versus conference opponents this season. Give me UT-Arlington plus points.
