The Utah Utes had long been an NCAA Tournament fixture, but have had to rebuild the program. They have finally returned to the level of an NCAA Tournament caliber squad, and have started at 7-2. The Utes rank #14 in the country, and their calling card is defense. They have held their last eight opponents in the 60s or less. While they have not topped or reached 70 themselves in their last three games, they have won two of them and the loss saw their opponent, a very good offensive team in Kansas, get to just 63. UNLV lost some key players and have become a much more methodical team, with a good commitment to the defensive end, holding opposing offenses to the 50s on five occasions this season. This looks like a game with neither team interested in ramping up the pace. The Utes are 8-1 to the UNDER in their last nine vs. a team over .600, and have an opponent willing to play defense as well. Take the UNDER.
