Utah @ Missouri

Current Records: Utah 7-3; Missouri 5-5

What to Know

The Utah Utes will square off against the Missouri Tigers at 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Mizzou Arena. The Utes should still be feeling good after a win, while Mizzou will be looking to regain their footing.

Utah simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday, as they easily beat the Manhattan Jaspers at home 96-62. Utah relied on the efforts of center Lahat Thioune, who had 16 points in addition to seven boards, and center Branden Carlson, who had 13 points.

Meanwhile,'s it's hard to picture a worse loss than the 102-65 bruising that Mizzou suffered against the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday. A silver lining for Mizzou was the play of guard Javon Pickett, who had 19 points.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Utes are expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Utah's victory brought them up to 7-3 while the Tigers' defeat pulled them down to 5-5. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Utah is stumbling into the matchup with the 357th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 8.9 on average. Mizzou has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 47th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 15.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
