NCAAB Same-Game Parlay: Colorado vs Utah
| Pick | Odds |
|---|---|
| Colorado -4.5 | -108 |
| KJ Simpson OVER 18.5 points | -110 |

| SGP Odds | +360 |
Pick 1: Colorado -4.5
Colorado destroyed Utah just three weeks ago, pulling away in the second half to finish with a 24-point victory.
The Buffaloes are one of the greatest shooting teams in D-I this season, shooting 56% from the field, and 40% from three-point range. They've been rounding into form at just the right time, closing out the regular season with six straight victories.
On top of that, Colorado knocks down 65% of shots from inside the paint. They can put the ball in the hoop from anywhere on the floor, as evidenced by the team scoring over 80 points per game this season. Additionally, all five Buffaloes starters score in double figures. If their stars have an off night, there's plenty of depth to pick up the slack. I like Colorado to blowout the Utes and keep things rolling in the Pac-12 Tournament.
Pick 2: KJ Simpson Over 18.5 Points
KJ Simpson blitzed the Utes this season, going off for 25 and later 28 points.

He's the catalyst of the Buffaloes explosive offense, scoring 20+ points in four of his last six contests. Simpson's as close to a 50-40-90 shooter as they come in college basketball. He's currently at 48.8% from the field, 86.5% from the free-throw line, and an incredible 45.1% from three. If Colorado were a powerhouse, Simpson would undoubtedly be considered for the College Basketball Player of the Year award.
He's one of the best three-level scorers in the game and a name to keep an eye on come NBA Draft time.
Pick 3: OVER 151 total points
Colorado puts up over 80 points per game, while Utah score over 78 themselves.
Both teams sports an effective field goal percentage of over 54%, and shoot over 37% from downtown. Moreover, with the Utes ranked in the top 50 in pace, they'll be running in this one. Plus, Utah allows almost 73 points per game, while Colorado surrenders over 72 per contest.
Four of the last six Buffaloes games and five of the last seven Utes games have gone OVER the total. Neither team is about to slow down as they push not only for Pac-12 supremacy, but also to boost their NCAA Tournament stock. This Pac-12 after dark tournament contest is sure to be a fast-paced barnburner, making the OVER a prime play.
