What to Know

Utah Tech has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the UT-Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros will face off in a WAC battle at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at UTRGV Fieldhouse. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

Last Saturday, the Trailblazers came up short against the Wildcats and fell 86-79. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Utah Tech in their matchups with Abilene Chr.: they've now lost five in a row.

Meanwhile, UT-Rio Grande Valley's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their 12th straight loss. They took a serious blow against the Lancers, falling 88-52. UT-Rio Grande Valley found out winning isn't easy when you make seven fewer threes than your opponent.

The Trailblazers have been struggling recently as they've lost ten of their last 13 matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-19 record this season. As for the Vaqueros, their defeat was their tenth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 6-23.

Looking forward, Utah Tech is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 4.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last four times they've played UT-Rio Grande Valley.

Utah Tech strolled past UT-Rio Grande Valley in their previous matchup back in February by a score of 81-64. The rematch might be a little tougher for Utah Tech since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
