Analysis
This is a play on the UTAH VALLEY WOLVERINES for our CBB Saturday WAC Late Powerhouse. Utah Valley is playing with a purpose as it was nearly disqualified from the WAC Tournament before it started but was able to settle a dispute for it leaving for the Big West Conference next season, paying a $1M settlement fee. The Wolverines nearly let it slip away last night as they were up by 16 points with just over nine minutes remaining but allowed a 19-4 run while UT Arlington ended up tying the game before Utah Valley but escaped with a two-point win. The Wolverines are now a win away for their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Cap Baptist opened 0-3 in the WAC and has since won 13 of its last 15 games and obviously has the toughest of matchups. They lost two of three meetings with Utah Valley with the one win in overtime at home. 10* (636) Utah Valley Wolverines
