Utah Tech vs Boise State Prediction

I’m sticking with Boise State, even though it’s a pretty high ceiling. The Broncos were frustrated offensively in their loss to Boston College, shooting just 39.2 percent from the field and 23.5 percent (4 of 17) from beyond the arc. Boise State was outrebounded 32-30 and also had 14 turnovers. The 61 points were the Broncos’ lowest point total of the season by a whopping 12-point margin.

As for Utah Tech, they were upset on the boards by Portland State 41-34 in their last game, but shot quite well at 47.5 percent from the field. The Trailblazers have failed to reach the 70-point mark in seven of their nine games so far. I want Boise State to bounce back with a big offensive performance here, so it might be difficult for Utah Tech to stay anywhere close.
