The latest news and analysis on Husky men's hoops.

It took awhile, but we finally had our first perfect prediction in the Guess the UW Score contest.

Washington may have lost 70-52 at Arizona on Wednesday, but seaute was the big winner after nailing the exact score. Fantastic job.

Alright, let’s move on.

TODAY’S PAC-12 SCHEDULE (all times Pacific):

No. 12 Arizona beat Washington State 73-56

California (17-9, 9-5) at Oregon State (13-14, 3-11), 3 p.m. ……………… P12N

Stanford (16-11, 7-7) at No. 23 Oregon (21-6, 10-4), 5 p.m. …………….. P12N

Washington (14-13, 6-8) at Arizona State (20-7, 9-5), 8 p.m. ………….. ESPNU

AND THE UW-ASU WINNER IS …

The Sun Devils 74-62.

Washington is a 5-point underdog, which seems a little generous considering the Huskies are 2-8 in the past 10 games.

UW beat ASU 96-92 in their first meeting, but that high-scoring game is an outlier in a season in which the Huskies are averaging about 68 points.

Washington has two difficult tasks tonight. The Huskies must contain a dangerous ASU offense that features dynamic point guard Jahii Carson, wing Carrick Felix, three-point specialist Jonathan Gilling and 7-2 center Jordan Bachnyski. That’s a lot of weapons.

Washington must also find a way to score points on the road with or without leading C.J. Wilcox. The Huskies are 11-4 when he scores at least 18 points and 3-9 when he doesn’t.
