|---|---|
| Cincinnati Bearcats | -11.5 (-110) |
| Utah Utes | +11.5 (-110) |
Utah is 10-21 overall, 2-16 in the Big 12, and the 16th seed in the tournament. The Utes season is basically over; they will need a Cinderella run to sniff March. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
If Utah were to go on a run, it would be due to Terrance Brown. He averages 20 points and 4 assists per night. He is a high-level player, and a good night from him can make things interesting.
Cincy is 17-14 overall, 9-9 in the Big 12, and the 9th seed in the tournament. The Bearcats are firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble. They likely need to win at least three games here to feel safe on Selection Sunday.
Cincy is one of the longest teams in the nation. They are really disruptive and try to impose their will in the paint. This is greatly due to standout Baba Miller. He averages a double-double and leads the team in most counting stats. Will he and the Bearcats handle the Utes?
Utah vs. Cincinnati is the usual case: we know who will win, but can they cover? This is even more difficult because Utah played Cincinnati close in their last outing. We think Cincy will be more motivated than Utah for this game. They have tournament dreams and will try to make a case out of Utah. Our pick is Cincy ATS(-11.5).
