Betting Trends for vs
The Utah Utes were unable to follow up their impressive victory over Stanford as they dropped a game to one of the bottom-feeders in the conference in the California Golden Bears, but they should get back on track against a struggling Washington State program. The Utes will feature one of the top scorers in the conference with junior forward Timmy Allen as he is averaging 17.3 PPG, and he should find some success against a Washington State defense that gave up 91 points to UCLA, 85 to USC, and 75 to Stanford. The Washington State Cougars ranks 11th on the defensive side of the court in the Pac-12, and they haven’t been much better scoring the basketball as they rank 6th in that category. Final Score Prediction, Utah Utes win and cover ATS 75-70.
