Seattle vs Utah State Key Stats
The Redhawks have had a good start to the season going into this three-game tournament. They've won three of their previous four games and are 8-2 overall. The Redhawks came alive in the second half of their most recent game against Alcorn State, shooting 56% from the field to pull away for a 72-58 victory after struggling through the first half.
The Redhawks' points per game ranking is 95th in the nation, but their points against per game ranking is only 168th. They are ranked 163rd in the nation for turnovers per game and 154th in the nation for 3-point field goal percentage.
The Aggies are halfway to their 18-game win total from last season thanks to a good start and strong play. On Monday night, Weber State came from behind to defeat the Aggies 75-72, despite the Aggies leading by as many as 18 points at one point during the game.
The Aggies' proficiency with 3-point shooting has helped them rank sixth in the nation in scoring thus far this season. They have the best three-point shooting percentage in the nation.
Seattle vs Utah State Betting Prediction
The Aggies are effective from a distance, move quickly, and guard the ball well. Seattle, which is ranked 63rd in the nation, has an above-average three-point defense.
The Aggies should be able to drive, kick, and find open shooters in transition since the Redhawks may be sloppy with the ball.
The 95th-ranked scoring offense of the Redhawks won't be able to keep up with the Aggies' fast-paced assault, and they lack the kind of long-range shooting that could take advantage of the Aggies' inability to defend perimeter shooting.
Pick: Utah State Aggies -10 (-110)
