Anyone have any thoughts on this game?
Everyone's talking about how Utah should easily roll in this game given they already beat down the Bruins 71-39 in the first meeting. Im not so convinced that happens again.
Perception of this Bruins team is that they are trash, but they've played 7 of their last 9 games away from home. At Pauley Pavilion, they have actually been rather solid going 9-1 on the season with their only loss at home coming to the Zags, and 25-3 over the last 2 seasons. They are one of the most day/night teams in the country when it comes to playing at home vs. on the road and average almost 15 more points at Pauley.
The same goes for Utah, they have been dominating their opponetns this season, but average about 15 points less on offense on the highway. They have been mediocre at best on the road. Really like the Bruins in this one, to even possibly pull the upset. Thoughts...contributions?
