#4 UTA 83, #5 Utah State 78 TheShorthorn Star-Telegram Ogden Herald-Journal
Today’s schedule:
#3 NM State vs. #7 TX State 8:30 CST
#4 UTA vs. #9 UT-San Antonio, 10:30 CST
Both Texas State and UTSA are playing their third game in four days, while NMSU and UTA are only playing for the second time in the tourney and should be a little better rested. But it will be interesting to see if Texas State has another upset in them…and if UTA can get by UTSA tonight, the UTA-Texas State games are always high-scoring and a lot of fun to watch. I think UTSA is a tougher matchup personally and if the 3s fall for UTSA, it could be a very tough game for UTA. Prediction: UTA 67, UTSA 62
