5*
(NCAAB) Utah vs. Saint Mary's-California,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -107.00 Saint Mary's-California (Home)
Result: Loss
Utah played 3 games in 4 days in Charleston, but they have not played since Sunday Nov 19th. St Mary's is 3-3 and the offense really struggles as they lost as a 1.5 pt fav to San Diego St and a 6 pt favorite to Xavier. While the Gels have underachieved they have faced the #23 toughest slate of defenses and with both SDSt and Xavier having top 5 defenses and playing on neutral courts or tournaments. I expect St Mary's pace to cause Utah issues tonight and St Marys is tough on their home floor where they shoot extremely well.
