The Wolverines have won 6 of their last 7 games. They also won their last game against the Mavericks by 8 points in early January.
Utah Valley Men’s Basketball is in a prime position to win its third WAC regular season title. The previous two came in 2014 and 2021.
They have already secured a first-round bye in the tournament. The first seed would allow UVU to play the lowest remaining seed in the second round.

The win is definitely a good sign heading into tournament play. However, if the teams match up again, UVU will not have the home crowd for support.
