Current Records: Utah 8-12; Washington State 10-7
What to Know
The Utah Utes have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Utah and the Washington State Cougars will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday at Wallis Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. Washington State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Utes will be looking to right the ship.
The game between Utah and the Southern California Trojans this past Saturday was not particularly close, with Utah falling 79-67. A silver lining for Utah was the play of guard Gabe Madsen, who shot 5-for-11 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points.
Meanwhile, the Cougars beat the California Golden Bears 65-57 last week. Forward Andrej Jakimovski (16 points) was the top scorer for Washington State. Jakimovski hadn’t helped his team much against the Stanford Cardinal two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Andrej Jakimovski’s points were the most he has had all season.
The Utes are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Utah’s opponents whenever they hit the road.
Utah is now 8-12 while the Cougars sit at 10-7. Washington State is 4-5 after wins this year, and Utah is 3-8 after losses.
