Washington vs Seattle Prediction

I’ll just stay with Washington here. The Huskies looked pretty good on 50 percent shooting and just seven turnovers in the win over a good Washington State team. That said, Washington also got demolished on the boards 42-23 and hit just 17 of their 26 free throws (65.4 percent). The 24 points off 22 Washington State turnovers helped massively. That said, Washington has a combined 176 points over the last two games, which follows just 119 points combined over the previous pair (both losses).

As for Seattle, they had 16 turnovers for 14 Flames points in their loss to UIC and shot a tepid 41.4 percent from the field. The Redhawks have scored quite well lately with 68 or more points in five straight games (a 2-3 run), but they’re giving up a ton on the other side. Washington should be able to find plenty of points in this one.
