We'll see about Utah Valley, replacing most of its roster from last season's 25-game winner. An earlier 101-77 loss at Boise State raised some red flags as Todd Phillips hurriedly tries to piece together a new lineup. Not sure UCI should be an underdog here, even as Russell Turner has some gaps to fill with the Anteaters from last year's NIT finalist. Though a couple of games vs. lower-tier opposition have distorted stats, Turner does have six double-digit scorers, with soph G Julian Dixon perhaps emerging as a star after scoring 23 vs. Weber State in UCI's 79-70 win on Saturday night. Again, though stats have been distorted, UCI is hitting nearly 54% from the floor, good marksmanship no matter the opposition. Play UCI
