The Pac-12 only got three teams in the NCAA's and by the end of Thursday, all three were eliminated. But I still think the conference got screwed, and I also think the SEC was way overrated. This is a play here taking advantage of one teams strength against the others weakness. LSU has gone 0-6-2 in their last eight road games while Utah has gone 10-4-3 ATS in their last 17 home games. I'm on Utah.

A mystifyingly low spread of 3.5 has moved up a point and still has room to grow, LSU has lost eight straight outright on the road, with no covers and two pushes. Utah, conversely, is 9-4-2 ATS at home this season. Three Tigers are dealing with injuries, including PG Tremont Waters, their primary scorer. All are expected to play but some could be limited. The Utes overcame a languid NIT start against UC-Davis to win. With a mature lineup of four seniors and one junior, they should be more focused here.
