This is an 8* on SOUTHERN UTAH

Southern Utah comes into the Big Sky Tournament as the top seed, having gone 12-2 SU in the regular season. The Thunderbirds were a little lucky in that they played one fewer game than both Eastern Washington and Weber State, who were each 12-3. But that’s something to possibly “worry about” later as today’s game vs. 8-seed Northern Colorado should be a “breeze.” Northern Colorado had to win yesterday just to get here. They beat Sacramento State 90-83 thanks to a career-high 30 points from Bodie Hume, who was 7 of 10 on three-point attempts. The 90 points were also a season-high for the Bears. Southern Utah has not lost a game since January 21st. They have won nine straight games, seven of them by 10 or more points. They only lost three times all season and one of them was the season opener. The other two were on the road to the Big Sky’s other top two teams. This would be a mismatch even without SUU having the bye. Play on SOUTHERN UTAH
