The line for this game is Utah by 8 points.

Utah and Washington, which will meet in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, enter the postseason under much different circumstances.

The seventh-seeded Utes (11-12, 8-11 Pac-12) are coming off a 98-59 victory against visiting Arizona State on Saturday, as Alfonso Plummer and Mikael Jantunen shared game-high honors with 15 points apiece for Utah. Timmy Allen added 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and likely would’ve been in line for a triple-double had he played more than 25 minutes in the blowout.

The 10th-seeded Huskies (5-20, 4-16) have been idle since concluding their regular season with a heartbreaking 75-74 loss at Arizona on Feb. 27. That game came just two days after an 80-72 loss at Arizona State in which the score was tied in the final minute.

The teams split their two meetings during the regular season, with Utah winning 76-62 in its coronavirus-delayed season opener Dec. 3 in Salt Lake City and Washington taking an 83-79 decision Jan. 24 in Seattle as Jamal Bey scored a career-high 28 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the field.

The Utah-Washington winner will face second-seeded USC in the Pac-12 quarterfinals Thursday.
