Utah vs Cincinnati
Cincinnati -8 (-110) *Consensus
Two main factors in this game.
1) Utah on the road
There is not a single power-5 team with worse splits between home & away. Over the past couple years, Utah has had an actionable home-court advantage. This year, maybe even more so. There are a couple key reasons for the Utes struggles on the road. Without great floor spacing, it is tough to consistently get open shots. They rely on actions and passing to get their buckets. While they are one of the best in assist rates per bucket, that is not enough to overcome their turnover problems.
2) Turnovers
Home, road, neutral... Does not matter. Utah has a serious problem with turnovers. On the road, that is amplified even more. They have THE WORST turnover margin in all of college basketball over the past month. On the road, that gets even worse. Going against a Cincy team that's main strength is pressure and dominating the turnover margin, Utah will have to shoot lights out in this one to win or cover.
