    Why is UTEP only favored by 3/3.5???

    UTEP has beaten Tulsa twice this year by at least 8 both times. They're playing some great ball right now and haven't lost in 2 months. They play tough defense and have been in complete control of Conf-USA all year.

    I hope this isn't a trap, but UTEP sure seems like easy money to me. What do you guys think?

    lots of reasons they in tulsa for 1....tulsa has to win for 2...the last game decided by 8 was much much closer than that....expect a war today....i love UTEP been riding them for quite some time and expect big things from them come tourney time but this is a scary game for them

    2dabank, who are you actually taking today? All I have seen is you telling people not to take their picks.

    I like UTEP here. They aren't guaranteed to get into the ncaa tourney, so they know they need to win the conf tourney.

    I just realized that UTEP played late last night. So I guess the whole late night to afternoon the next day thing works against them. That and the fact that this game is in Tulsa. So yea, there's a lot working against UTEP here.

    that shouldnt be a huge deal as last night was like a little practice for them except the players they were facing wernt as good as the ones they see in practice

    I'm taking UTEP in the 1st half -1.5. This is Tulsa's third game in as many nights and in both previous games they had to come from behind in the second half, while UTEP played last night and busted out in the first half to a comfortable lead.
