No. 23 BYU (22-8, 13-6) will end the regular season hosting the Utah Utes (16-14, 8-11) at the Marriot Center in Provo, UT. The game is scheduled to get underway at 10 p.m. ET with coverage via ESPNU.
The Cougars come into this game riding a seven-game winning streak after beating No. 10 Iowa State 88-85 in 2OT Tuesday. They led the Cyclones, who were 8.5-point favorites, by nine points at the break, 33-24, but couldn’t hold Iowa State back in the second half as the Cyclones tied the score up, forcing overtime. BYU jumped ahead at the start of the second OT period and didn’t look back. Richie Saunders led the way with 23 points (13 coming from free throws); he’s led the team in scoring this season with 16.1 points per game.
As for Utah, the Utes struggled down the stretch, losing five of their last eight games, including their home finale against West Virginia 71-69. The Utes fired their head coach already; assistant Josh Eilert has been in charge (the team has already hired their next head coach, Dallas Mavericks assistant Alex Jensen). Gabe Madsen led the charge with 23 points; he also led the team in scoring this season with 15.5 points per game.

Our Utah Utes vs BYU Cougars Prediction
Utah beat BYU in Provo earlier in the season in overtime, 73-72. But BYU got back on track quickly, crushing Colorado in their next game and going 11-2 the rest of the way. Utah lost their next two and eight of their last 13. I don’t think BYU is going to let the game come down to a single possession like it did in that game. The Cougars may not pull away until the second half, but they will win and probably cover.
