In this article, we will formulate a Washington vs UC Davis Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday, November 5th, at the Hec Edmundson Pavillion.
UC Davis Looks Good
On paper, this UC Davis team looks excellent and there are plenty of expectations surrounding them. UC Davis finished with a 20-13 record overall last season, and they went 14-6 in the Big West. Ty Johnson was the star player last year, averaging 17.6 points per game last year, and he’s back to lead the squad. Then came in the transfers for UC Davis, who they believe are going to be difference makers this year. Carl Daughtry Jr came in from Central Arkansas after averaging 9.9 points per game last year. Nils Cooper came in from Pepperdine and is a defender first after averaging 5.0 points per game last year.
Big Changes for Washington
After success at Montana State and Utah State, Danny Sprinkle has moved up taking over the job for the Washington Huskies. He is moving to the Big Ten and many believe he is just the guy that can take this team back to relevance. Great Osobor has moved with his coach the last couple of years, and he has joined Washington after averaging 17.7 points while grabbing nine rebounds at Utah State. Oakland transfer Chris Conway averaged 10.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Washington has done a good job in the transfer portal, and this is a team that should be competitive in the Big Ten this season. If the offense struggles in this game, that is going to be what allows Washington to stick around to find success.
Washington vs UC Davis Prediction
I expect Washington is going to have a strong season this year, but UC Davis is going to keep this game close. UC Davis has Ty Johnson still, and I expect the weakness of this Washington team is going to be the defense. UC Davis is going to have no issue running up the score and although it might not be enough to win, it’s going to be enough to keep it close. Back Washington against the spread.
