Both of these teams come into this matchup with 8-12 records in the PAC-12, but Washington did win both regular season meetings by scores of 73-63 and 75-62. Washington has allowed 93 and 81 points in their last two games, while Colorado is coming off of a nice win against Utah. These two teams have very similar metrics, but Colorado is the better defensive team and they are averaging more rebounds per game. I like the Buffaloes here.
