The Washington State Cougars are traveling to the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, Washington to face off against the Washington Huskies. The Washington State Cougars are 14-14 on the year and 5-10 in conference play, following an 18 point loss to the Stanford Cardinal. The Washington Huskies are coming into this game off of a 35 point win against the California Golden Bears, making them 13-15 on the year and 3-12 in conference play.

The Washington State Cougars enter this matchup averaging 69.3 points per game and also allow 68.6 points per game. The Cougars are led by sophomore forward, CJ Elleby. Elleby is leading Washington State in scoring and rebounding, averaging 18.6 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game. Elleby will have to play well if Washington State wants to keep this game close on the road.

The Washington Huskies are averaging 69.9 points per game and also allow 65.2 points per game. The Huskies are led by freshman forward, Isiah Stewart. Stewart is leading the Huskies in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16.9 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game. If Washington wants to cover the spread, they need Stewart to play well.

In this matchup I like the Washington State Cougars to lose but grab the points. Washington State and Washington are both great defensive teams, allowing less than 70 points per game. The Washington Huskies are good at home but, they are horrible ATS lately. Washington is 1-9 ATS their last 10 games and they will win a close battle against inner state rival. Final score prediction, the Washington State Cougars will lose but grab the points 69-66.
