Utah Valley finished the regular season in first place in the WAC and they have won nine of their last ten games. Southern Utah finished in third place in the WAC standings and they have won four of their last six games. These two teams split the two regular season matchups, with Utah Valley winning 90-83 and Southern Utah winning 79-67. This should be a great game and I think either team could win, so I am going to take the points with Southern Utah.
