Utah Valley vs Seattle Prediction 

Utah Valley comes into this matchup as the only undefeated team in the WAC, but they will be on the road in this game. The Wolverines are shooting 47% from the field this year and they have scored 74+ points in four straight games. Seattle is shooting just 42.8% from the field this season and they are coming off of a loss where they only scored 56 points. The Redhawks have been very strong defensively over the last few weeks and I think we are going to see a lower-scoring battle here, so give me the under in this contest.
