The Utah Utes and Mississippi State Bulldogs face off on Wednesday in a college basketball showdown at Suncoast Credit Union Arena. This is the first meeting played between the two teams in recent history. 

Utah comes into this game with a 4-1 record and they have gone 2-3 against the spread. In the last game against Georgia Tech. Utah used a big first half to secure a 68-64 victory. The Utes used a balanced attack with five different players scoring at least 10 points. Gabe Madsen was the top player finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Utah is averaging 70.8 points while their defense is giving up 55.8 points per game. Center Branden Carlson has been the top player averaging 15.6 points while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the three-point line. 

On the other side of this matchup is Mississippi State who sits with a 5-0 record and they have gone 4-0-1 against the spread. In the last game against Marquette, the defense again had another big game giving up only 55 points, and they secured the victory. The Bulldogs are averaging 70.6 points while their defense is giving up 48.4 points per game. This is a team that has bought in with the defense, and they will need to lean on the defense again here to find success. Tolu Smith has been the top player for Miss State averaging 15.6 points while shooting 66 percent from the field. 

Until the Bulldogs' defense fails them, we will continue to back them. Mississippi State’s defense is giving up only 55 points per game, and they are going to lockdown with their defense again in this game. Utah’s offense has been decent, but not great, and the Utes will struggle to score here. Back Mississippi State against the spread.
