Utah has won 4 in a row and they are tied atop the Pac 12 standings with Arizona.

Oregon State is at 7-6 in conference play and if they ever needed a win it is tonight facing a top 10 Utah team. The regular season is coming to a close and the Beavers are really on the Big Dance bubble and they have to finish strong to make the NCAA tourney.

Oregon State is 1-1 facing ranked teams this season with their lone win coming at home facing Arizona.

Utah and Oregon state are the top 2 defending teams in the Pac 12. Oregon State has to play good D to win, as they only rank 311th in the nation in scoring. On the other side of the coin Utah has a slid offense ranking 37th in the nation in points per game.

Utah will have to play good perimeter defense tonight, as 2 of the 3 leading scorers for the Beavers are guards Gary Payton II and Langston Morris-Walker.

Oregon State is 9-1 all time at home facing Utah.

Utah has won the last 2 games facing Oregon State, but both of those wins were at home.

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

If Oregon State cannot keep Utah from scoring they are in trouble. Not only are they not a high scoring team, but in their last 5 games they are only shooting 37.5% from the floor as a team.
