#720 ASA PLAY ON 8* Weber State -4.5 over Southern Utah, Saturday at 8 PM ET - The winner of this game clinches at least a share of 2nd place in the Big Sky conference. Both teams come in with a 13-6 league record but Weber has been the better team and they are in the much better situation. Weber State has had a full week off since destroying Northern Arizona on the road last Saturday 73-49. While the Wildcats are rested and have had plenty of time to prepare for this home game, SUU will be playing their 3rd road game in 5 days having played @ Montana State on Tuesday, @ Idaho State on Thursday and now @ Weber State tonight. The Wildcats lead the Big Sky in points per possession differential at +10.6 and they are 2nd in PPG differential only behind 1st place Montana State. They have the 3rd most efficient offense in the Big Sky and the 1st most efficient defense. Southern Utah has shown they can beat the teams they are supposed to but when stepping up and facing the top teams in the conference they have fallen flat. The top 4 teams in the conference are Montana State, Weber State, Northern Colorado and Southern Utah. SUU is 0-5 SU vs those opponents (Weber is 3-2) and they’ve lost those game by an average of almost 10 PPG. The Thunderbirds are 1-6 ATS this year as an underdog which goes along with not stepping up vs good teams. Weber has beaten SUU here at home 19 of the last 22 meetings and they pick up a win and cover on Saturday night.
