Utah Valley is coming into this game with a 25-8 record this season and they were 15-1 in their conference. They were the best team in their conference all season, but this is not the tournament they wanted to play in as they ended up losing to Grand Canyon 89-82 in their conference tournament. They lost 2 of their 3 games against Grand Canyon this year despite being the better team all season so they are not going to be as motivated to go on the road in this tournament. They have been on fire recently as they have won 10 of their last 11 games, but they also play in a much weaker conference and were not tested often. They were not as good in their non-conference schedule either as they were 8-6 in those games. They were 7-1 on the road in their conference, but they were 3-5 in their non-conference road games. They are going up against a San Francisco team that is 24-9 this season and they were 13-5 in their conference. They have been playing very well recently as they have won 4 of their last 6 games, and both of their losses in that span were against Gonzaga. They were much better at home this season as they were 16-2 there, but their 2 losses were in the Chase Center so they are actually 16-0 when playing in their own building, and most of those wins were by 10+ points as well. They also won all 8 of their non-conference games in this building with 7 of those wins coming by 8+ points. San Francisco has been dominant in this building all season, especially against teams from weaker conferences, and they are going to dominate this Utah Valley team that has to have a bad taste in their mouth from their own conference tournament. San Francisco will cover the spread in this game.
