Utah at Colorado Prediction 2/2/2018

The Utes are on an impressive roll winning three of their last four games with the lone loss being by one-point. That defeat came on the road against Arizona who leads the PAC-12 standings and is a perfect 12-0 at home this season. Utah guard Sedrick Barefield has picked his game up big time in his recent road games. The Buffaloes struggle against teams with good guard play, so look for him to be a difference maker tonight. Colorado has been good at home, going 8-2 overall and 3-1 in conference games including a close victory over Arizona, but their recent play has been lackluster.
