Utah has had one of the toughest stretches of a schedule of any team in America, so being 10-6 at this point is not a bad record. The Utes play at Arizona State this weekend, another team that has lost some games but has played a solid schedule.

A few weeks ago the Utes knocked off then No. 6 Kentucky. Since then the Utes came within a hair of beating No. 4 Oregon. Utah is 1-4 since beating Kentucky and all of those losses were to ranked teams. Arizona State is 10-7 and has lost three of its last four, an all three losses were to ranked teams. The Sun Devils also lost a very close game to then No. 7 Virginia very early. Both teams are 1-3 in the Pac-12.

Utah is led by Timmy Allen at 19.9 points and 7.4 rebounds. Both Gach is averaging 11.8 and Rylan Jones is at 10.6. jones has 33 three-pointers and is shooting 47 percent from there, better than his two-point goal percentage. He also is shooting 89 percent from the foul line. Utah has 130 three-pointers and is shooting 35 percent. The Utes are shooting 47 percent inside.

Remy Martin is averaging 19.5 points for Arizona State. Alonzo Verge is averaging 12.4. Romello White is averaging 11.1 points and 9.6 rebounds. Martin has made 33 three-pointers and is shooting 33 percent. The Sun Devils have 118 three-pointers and are shooting 30 percent from behind the arc, and 42 percent inside.

The Utes head into the game scoring better overall, but also with a better rebounding team as well. What else help Utah out is the Utes shoot better from behind the arc and even in getting the regular 2 point shots to fall. Look for the Su evils to put p a fight in the game, but the way the Sun Devils are playing it could make it difficult for Arizona State to pull out the win here. Final Score Prediction, Utah Utes win in upset but grab the points just in case 77-73.
