The No. 9 Huskies are coming off a difficult 70-67 loss to the No. 5 Wildcats on Thursday. Despite blowing a 14-point lead against one of the top teams in the nation, they easily covered a large 18.5-point spread.
The Huskies' top scorer, Keion Brooks, averages 16.2 points per game. Together, Brooks and Cole Bajema average 11.5 rebounds and 27.0 points per game. When it comes to blocks per game, the Huskies are fourth in the nation (6.0).
They rank 172nd in adjusted offensive efficiency and 78th in adjusted defensive efficiency. Just 49.7% of the Huskies' two-point attempts are made, and only 30.6% of their three-point attempts are made.

Washington vs Arizona State Betting Prediction
The Huskies recently lost a good chance to surprise the Wildcats. They have lost four straight games, so I anticipate them playing this one closely in an effort to end their losing streak. Although the Sun Devils have a strong defense, their offense hasn't performed well and will struggle against the Huskies.
Although the Sun Devils are probably a better club than the Huskies, only two of their last six victories have been by ten points or more. In their previous 17 appearances as favorites of nine points or more, the Sun Devils have a 4-13 ATS record.
Pick: Washington Huskies +9.5 (-115)
