Cal Riverside at Utah

The Utah Utes have had some struggles in recent years. They opened with an easy home win against Ball State, and then were immediately tested taking on San Diego State on the road. The Utes more than held their own as they lost a hard fought game by just 4 points. UC Riverside had a cupcake win at home, but failed at home against Sacramento State. The Highlanders' program is certainly not near the level of tonight's opponent, in fact they have not started a season at 2-0 for 16 years, and failed to do so again. Utah has been playing suffocating defense, and held San Diego State to 53 points, and the Highlanders are going to struggle to get good looks here, and they are not a very good shooting team to begin with, especially stepping up in class. The Highlanders are just 10-21-3 ATS in their last 34 outside the conference, while the Utes dominate at home at 27-9-1 ATS in their last 37. Play on Utah.
