Pick
I’m backing Washington here, but I’m honestly not rushing to the window to bet this thing just due to the volatility of the injury situation here. That being said, Colorado I feel has lost more due to the injury bug, including their starting point guard and I just feel like the Huskies are in the better position at this point in time. Even if the Huskies don’t win this game, I don’t envision a blowout here, so give me the Huskies and the points.
