WASHINGTON vs ARIZONA PREDICTION
These teams just played each other over the previous weekend and Arizona played one of their worst games of the year while the Huskies had one of their best performances of the season. The Wildcats are a much better team offensively, defensively, and have much more talent. Arizona is 0-7 this year when it scores 65 points or less and 20-4 when it scores more than 65 points. The Huskies have been playing really good basketball in the last 2 games while shooting at a very high percentage but eventually they will have to come back to reality and today is the day. Look for Arizona to win this game by double-digits as the Wildcats will be seeking revenge after the terrible home loss and should be well prepared for this game.
