Your Prediction: NCAA First Round – Utes vs Fresno St

[Tony (admin)]

How will the Utes do against Fresno St in the first round of the NCAA? Let’s hear your take.

I’ll go with Utah by 12. Fresno is better than a lot of people think but if Utah isn’t overconfident or hungover from the Organ beatdown there’s no way we should lose.

I feel like it either comes down to the wire or the Utes cover the 8 point spread easily. Something around 15. I think Fresno is as good of a 14 seed you’ll find in recent tourny history. Very solid team. We either come out shaken from the p12cg or we come out p**sed and bury them.

I’m going with “the Utes come out p**sed and bury them”.

If Fresno had not won their Conference Tournament they were not going to play in ANY Tournament. This will be a warm up game for Utah before they get the winner of Seton Hall and Gonzaga.

[Puget Ute]

If we play tough as we know we can, this game will be a cakewalk.

Unfortunately we near crapped the bed vs Stephen F Austin last year in the first round, so anything is possible.

If we play like we did vs USC last week we win this game convincingly.

We will see Eastman.

Utes go up big early on, get sloppy going into the half, come out on fire again, but the end result is uncomfortably close because we let off the gas and lose momentum instead of closing out strong. Fresno fouling in the closing minute doesn’t work and the end margin is 8-10. That scare leads to a complete game against a second round opponent who will NOT know what hit them.

My prediction, due to the start time and my location in SoCal, I will be fighting traffic for the first hour plus of the game.  I will have the iPhone on and earbuds in listing to Bill Reilly and Jimmy Soto do the call on ESPN 700.
