Oregon at Utah

Sixth-seeded Oregon is favored but has a losing record away from home as it heads to Las Vegas for this Pac 12 tournament duel. The Utes have a major injury concern with senior center David Collette, who injured his ankle in the regular season finale Saturday and is questionable. Coach Larry Krystkowiak said yesterday that he didn't think his second-leading scorer (12.8 ppg) would play. Oregon had to play last night, a win over Washington State (64-62) as 11-point chalk. Meanwhile, Utah is rested and a force on defense, tops in the Pac-12 in points allowed, third in field goal defense, while the offense is fourth in three-point shooting (.373%) and free throws (.751%). Underdog Utah is on an 8-3-1 spread run and is in a great situational spot. Play Utah.
