First of the year for me is a sicko special. Jacksonville St. -2 1/2 over Utah Valley State.
The Utah Valley coach must be crazy. Here’s their saga since late November. November 27/28 in Birmingham, Ala lost by 8 to hometown Samford and then by 20 to North Dakota State. Then back to West Coast 12/3 for a loss to Stanford. Then turn right around and go back East for a 17-point loss at JMU 12/7. (Jacksonville State lost to JMU in November by 6). Then back home (an hour from Salt Lake City) for a lone home win in this stretch 12/11. Then it’s back across the country to Jacksonville, Ala, (14,000 people, an hour+ from Birmingham) for this game today. I can’t imagine they’ll have much gas in the tank.
The stats also favor Jacksonville. They shoot 3s at 37% vs 32% for Utah Valley. They shoot 2s at 55% vs 52% and FTs is worse, 76% vs a very bad 69%. Utah Valley also turns it over twice more per game. They are both good rebounding teams with a slight edge to Jacksonville (they get 55% of available rebounds vs 54% for Utah Valley).
