Utah -14.5 over SFA **
Utah today is missing its top rebounder and assists man in 6'9 Kuzuma...but think they have enough in their front line to dominate the paint....U is ranked 4th in the nation in rebounding and although Kuz is out they have Johnson and rawson who will play more... these guys are 6'10 and 7'1...Barefield is their top scorer and 6'8 Collette is 2nd and scoring and plays inside...Utah plays tough defense inside and outside on the perimeter...but Utes have played nobody ...a lot of wins vs weak teams and 2 losses to XU and Butler...but SFA isn't a Butler or XU... SFA has played some good teams and lost..Tulsa,Rice,UAB,Ark,and Kentucky..they also just beat some weak teams by 5 or 6 pts..UL Monroe,Longwood,Northeastern St...SFA lost 3 starters from last yrs 28-6 team...this isn't the same SFA team and are only predicted to finish 3rd in the conf this yr...even w/o Kuzuma think the Utes defense and size will be a big problem for the Lumberjacks..had the line last nite at -13.5 but waited to long....
Merry Christmas to everyone...
