Analysis: The Stanford Cardinal have not been playing all that well of late as they have lost their last 3 games and 7 of their last 10. Still the Cardinal is 18-12 on the year overall, while they went 9-9 in the Pac-12. Stanford has gone 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game, but just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss. The Cardinal have been a very good offensive team this year, as they come in ranked 52nd in scoring (72.9 ppg), 185th in shooting (43.5%), 34th in 3 point shooting (32.6%) and 71st in FT shooting (72.1%). Defensively the Cardinal has been not that good this year, ranking 193rd in points allowed (67.1 ppg), 155th in defensive FG% (42.5%) and 258th in 3 point defense (35.7%).
The Washington Huskies have really struggled down the stretch as they have won just 2 of their final 12 games of the regular season. The Huskies have gone 16-14 overall, but they also went just 5-13 within the Pac-12. Washington has gone 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games, but just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 vs the Pac-12. The Huskies have not been an average offensive team this year, as they come in ranked 149th in scoring (68.6 ppg), 180th in shooting (43.5%), 265th in 3 point shooting (32.2%) and 201st in FT shooting (68.6%). Defensively the Huskies have not been good as they come in ranked 218th in points allowed (67.8 ppg), 125th in defensive FG% (42.0%) and 125th in 3 point defense (33.3%).
Pick: Going with the Under in this one. The Washington offense has really been inconsistent this year and have averaged just 64 ppg in their last 8 games. Stanford comes in having averaged just 66.7 pg in their last 7 games. Neither defense is great, but they will be good in this one which should be a slow pace game that see's no more than 135 points being scored.
