Utah +1½ vs BYU
Game Time: 1/31/2007 10:00:00 PM

The Jon M. Huntsman Center is the site for this Beehive State rivalry. Take the Utah Utes at home over the BYU Cougars.
This is one of the most underrated rivalries in college basketball.
Make no mistake, it's every bit as intense as anything you'll see on Tobacco Road or anyplace else. There's no love lost between these two schools, and I'm sure you'll see the usual intensity tonight.
Despite the problems they've had this season, I expect Utah to do what they always do at home vs. BYU, which is defeat them. The Cougars basically never win at this site, and as is the norm, BYU has been much more effective at home than on the road this season. This is Utah's game of the year, so to speak, and I think they're worth backing tonight.
Play: Utah +1½
