Current Records: Bethune-Cookman 0-2; Utah 2-0
What to Know
The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats’ road trip will continue as they head to Jon M. Huntsman Center at 10 p.m. ET on Monday to face off against the Utah Utes. Utah should still be feeling good after a victory, while the Wildcats will be looking to regain their footing.
Things couldn’t have gone much worse for Bethune-Cookman as they lost 71-51 to the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders this past Friday.
Meanwhile, Utah took their contest at home this past Saturday with ease, bagging an 89-56 win over the Sacramento State Hornets. Among those leading the charge for Utah was center Branden Carlson, who had 21 points.
Bethune-Cookman is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn’t have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.
The Wildcats are now 0-2 while the Utes sit at a mirror-image 2-0. A pair of last-season numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Bethune-Cookman is 350th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only on average. Utah is stumbling into the matchup with the 27th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 13.4 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
