INNER CIRCLE
Utah (-6) over California
9:00 PM (EST) -- Jon M. Huntsman Center
Inner Circle---Utah Utah can shoot the eyes out of the ball. They are making just under 50% from the field which is fantastic and 72% from the free throw line. The free throws could play an important part tonight as the Utes are expected to be ahead in the later part of the game and when fouled by Cal needing free throws to pull away for the pointspread cover. They also hit 35% of their three point shots. These are over-all season numbers which are higher when playing at home. They are 10-2 at home and enter tonight''s game having won three straight games. Cal defeated Utah in early January but are one man down and revenge will be extracted with a solid win tonight. Utah is in proper form right now and the home court is their greatest ally.

PERFECT PLAY
Virginia Tech (+8½) over Louisville
8:00 PM (EST) -- Cassell Coliseum
Perfect Play---Virginia TechVirginia is 9-5 at home s/u playing Louisville which is 2-3 on the road. The sportsbooks are trying to get Cardinals lovers to lay 9 points on the road. That''''s not happening tonight. North Carolina had their hands full before pulling away with a 75-70 win on Sunday playing this Virginia Tech team. Additionally, the Hokies defeated Virginia earlier this year at home. The best part about this team is they don''''t rely on one top player. They have four scorers that can put up double digits on any given night. Louisville tends to play to the level of their competition. They''''re ranked #17 but there''''s really nothing special that puts fear into their opponents. Rick Pitino doesn''''t even bring it to where you think he might out coach the competition. Virginia Tech is a solid cover getting this many points at home.
