Matchup History
Utah Valley’s 90-83 win over Southern Utah back on February 11th, 2023, snapped Southern Utah’s five-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.
Pick
I’m backing Utah Valley here. The Wolverines have been rock solid so far in the tournament, and while Southern Utah is solid offensively, they’re a lot more intimidating when they’re on their home floor. On a neutral floor, I think those advantages are slightly negated and I think Utah Valley is fully capable of taking advantage. I’ll back the Wolverines in this one.
