A spot for the final is up for grabs
The second to last game is Air Force taking on Utah and the Utes are the lowest seed of the tournament remaining and a win and they are in the finals.
Round 3 Matchups:
Series 13: #8 2009 BYU vs. #12 2018 Nevada
Series 14: #7 2007 Air Force vs. # 14 2009 Utah
Every game in the second round series ended with the lower seeded team winning. Multiple teams that had only lost two or three games their entire season ended up losing 4 out of 7. It’s absolute madness. That being said, the show must go on.
Series 14 Preview: Utah pulled out a close one against a deep New Mexico team. Air Force used it’s depth and efficiency to beat the #2 seed. I think Air Force will take this series, as they can hit shots from anywhere on the court. Utah will be pressed to keep up.
