This will be like a home game for Indiana State who are playing at Hinkle Fieldhouse. This team is on a mission to show the committee that they were wrong in not putting them in the national tournament. A very good well balanced team who are playing with a chip on their shoulder. This is a long trip for Utah to come across country to play in an atmosphere that will be hostile. Utah only won 2 games this season on the road in the regular season and went 6-11 ATS. When Utah is an underdog they went 0-2 ATS this season and 1-5 ATS in the last few seasons. Utah has won their last four games to get to this spot but they are 0-2 ATS this season after having won 4 of their last 5 games and 2-5 ATS in the last few seasons. This game is the Sycamores to lose, but they have played so well all season, beating teams by more than the spread in a lot of their games, and in this spot, should finish the job and cover.

Utah are 1-6 ATS this season and 5-15 ATS in the last few seasons after playing 3 consecutive games as favorite. Utah are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games when playing as the underdog. Indiana State are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games. Indiana State are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games when playing as the favorite. Indiana State are 6-1 ATS this season off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite.

Best bet: lay the points with Indiana State.
