Oregon vs Washington Prediction
I’ll stay with Oregon but you could call this one either way. The Ducks shot just 39.2 percent from the field and 5-of-11 (45.5 percent) from the line in their latest loss to Michigan State. The 29-21 rebounding deficit and 30-20 disadvantage on points in the paint didn’t help matters either. Oregon has lost five straight games now, scoring fewer than 63 points in three of the last four. They’ve got to get a shot in the arm on offense—and soon.
As for Washington, they shot 44.3 percent from the field in their latest loss to Nebraska and had a 40-26 edge in the paint with just seven turnovers. The Huskies got to the line just 10 times though (making six) and hit a very tepid 28.6 percent (6-of-21) from outside. Washington has lost three straight (all versus ranked teams) with a combined 129 points in the last pair.
