What to Know

After two games on the road, the Utah Valley Wolverines are heading back home. The Wolverines and the New Mexico St. Aggies will face off in a WAC battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at UCCU Events Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Utah Valley winning the first 72-68 at home and New Mexico St. taking the second 62-46.

Utah Valley received a tough blow on Thursday as they fell 79-67 to the Southern Utah Thunderbirds.

Meanwhile, the matchup between New Mexico St. and the Utah Tech Trailblazers on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with New Mexico St. falling 89-76 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Utah Valley is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Thursday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

The Wolverines ended up a good deal behind the Aggies when they played when the two teams previously met in March of last year, losing 62-46. Maybe Utah Valley will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
