Washington vs Oregon Prediction
I’ll lean toward Washington but it’s a coin flip. The Huskies started slowly in their home win over USC this week, but eventually hit 48.1 percent from the field with just 37.5 percent allowed on defense. The 44-34 rebounding advantage helped, as did the 54-32 edge on points in the paint. Washington wasn’t great from outside though (23.3 percent on 7-of-30). That gives the Huskies a choppy 3-2 run in the last five games, but they’ve hit 73 or more points in three straight outings.
Back on January 25 when these teams last met up, Washington secured a 72-57 victory on their home court. In that one the Huskies didn’t shoot great (41.5 percent) from the field and had just 61.5 percent (8-of-13) at the line. That said, Washington held the Ducks to just 35.7 percent shooting on defense and posted a dominant 42-23 advantage on the boards. This road rematch is going to be tougher, but if all goes well I think the Huskies can pull it off.
