Utah vs Indiana State Betting Picks and Analysis
However, Indiana State is a legitimate No. 1 seed, and the Utes will meet them on Tuesday. Despite losing in the final of the Mountain Valley Conference tournament, the Sycamores were still regarded as one of the top teams that did not advance to the NCAA Tournament. According to online basketball betting experts, the squad has made the most of the NIT, viewing it as a chance for atonement, and they are now in the semifinals. According to KenPom, Indiana State had the sixteenth-best offensive efficiency during the regular season, making them one of the top offensive teams in the nation.
Branden Carlson, a senior center, has been an important cog for Utah. Carlson can be a force on the boards and in the paint because to his towering stature, which he employs to his advantage. With 17 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks, he is the team leader. In the victory over VCU, Carlson contributed with 17 points and three boards.
Robbie Avila, an Indiana State sophomore center, has shown to be a multipurpose force in the paint. Avila is skilled with the rock, can help guide the ball, and can even come up with his own shots. On a game-by-game basis, the native Illinoisan contributes 17.3 points, 6.5 boards, and 4.1 assists. Avila had a double-double (22 points, 5 boards) and a block in the victory over Cincinnati.

Bet on Utah at +3.5
I just cannot support the Sycamores as favorites, no matter how reasonable it is for Indiana State to have a strong end to the fairytale season. The game will be tight and may come down to the last shot.
