double-dime bet - 846 Utah -4.5 (-110) vs 845 Ariz. St
Analysis: Larry Krystkowiak isn't getting the love he deserves for the turnaround he's engineered
at the University of Utah. The Utes struggled to find their way after longtime coach Rick Majeurus
left but the former NBA journeyman was the perfect hire. Krystkowiak carved out a nice career for
himself by little more than sheer force of will, working hard and doing 'the little things' every night.
His Utah teams have done well to assimilate his style. They don't 'out talent' most of their PAC 12
foes but just outwork them. For that reason we expect a strong bounce back effort by Utah here.
Utes coming off a loss to #4 ranked Arizona last time out in a game where they played well (took
the Wildcats to overtime before losing).
The Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City has been a miserable place for visiting teams to play--they've lost only twice at home this season (Oregon
beat them by 2 in addition to Arizona's OT win) and are a torrid 10-3 ATS on their home floor. Sun
Devils are 2-5 SU/ATS as an underdog this season and have covered only 3 of their last 10
games.
