Boise State at Utah

Boise State has excellent balance with explosive sophomore point guard Paris Austin (12.6 points per game) and senior guard James Reid (10.3) in the backcourt, with 6-8 senior forward Nick Duncan up front and 6-7 junior guard Chandler Hutchison doing it all, leading the team in scoring (16.9 ppg), rebounding (7.9 rpg) and steals (1.2 per game). Boise State coach Leon Rice and Duncan both broke down during an emotional postgame press conference after the last game discussing the possibility that their season had come to an abrupt end. Utah saw its NCAA hopes dashed with a 78-75 loss to California in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals. They are 2-5-1 ATS as a favorite and the dog has covered four of the last five meetings. Take the points and play Boise State.
