Pick

Washington State comes into this game playing fairly well and has won three of their last four games, while Colorado is on a three game losing streak. Colorado is the higher scoring team and is averaging more rebounds per game, but I like Washington State in this matchup. Washington State has played great defense in their last three wins and will face a Colorado team that has only scored more than 68 points in one of their last five games. Take Washington State on the road.
