Coming into this Big Sky Tournament matchup, Northern Colorado sits at 11-10 overall. The Bears are coming off a tourney win over Sacramento State on Wednesday. As for the Thunderbirds, they’re 19-3 this year. Southern Utah has won nine straight, most recently over Portland State.

Northern Colorado has been fighting to stay above .500 for most of the season. The Bears were sitting at 8-6 back in late January, but since have gone just 3-4. Northern Colorado did snag a nice tournament win over Sacramento State on Wednesday, however. 

In the 90-83 win over Sac State, Northern Colorado’s Bodie Hume put up 30 points with eight rebounds. Matt Johnson added 15 points with eight assists, and Kur Jockuch doubled up on 14 points with 11 boards in 30 minutes of work. 

Over on the Southern Utah side, it’s been quite the successful season so far. The Thunderbirds had a 1-2 stretch in January, but since then they’ve won nine straight games over Weber State, Benedictine AZ, San Diego Christian, Sac State, Northern Arizona and Portland State. 

In the 73-54 win over Portland State on March 6, Southern Utah’s John Knight put up 26 points with four rebounds and five assists. Dre Marin added 19 points, three assists and two boards, and Tevian Jones had 13 points with five rebounds. 

Southern Utah is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Thursday games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall. The over is 15-6 in the Thunderbirds’ last 21 overall and 9-3-1 in their last 13 neutral-site games. 

Meanwhile, the Bears are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 neutral-site games and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 Thursday games. The over is 4-0 in their last four after an ATS win and the under is 15-7 in their last 22 on Thursday. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds have been scoring very well over this nine-game win streak, hitting 73 or more in eight of nine games. Northern Colorado posted a nice 90-point total in their Wednesday win, but prior to that had 66 or fewer in three straight. If Southern Utah gets their offense rolling in this tournament game, it’ll be hard for the Bears to keep up.
