Utah vs West Virginia Prediction

I’m on Utah here. I just think the Utes are in a good position here, being at home where they’ve been playing well as of late. West Virginia hasn’t necessarily been able to carry over the recent form they’ve had on their home floor out on the road. Scoring continues to be an issue for the Mountaineers and on the road I think that they could have some issues in this one. Give me Utah at home here.
