Washington Huskies Game Notes

Huskies guard Tyler Harris was solid in his team’s 88-54 loss to Michigan State on Thursday night. The Portland transfer put up 14 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 blocked shot, and 1 made three-pointer. Harris shot 5 of 10 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line in the loss.

Wolverines center Vladislav Goldin was otherworldly in his team’s 94-75 win over UCLA on Tuesday. The 7’1” senior from Nalchick, Russia registered 36 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and a blocked shot. Goldin shot 13 of 18 from the field and 9 of 11 from the charity stripe in the victory.

Michigan guard Nimari Burnett also made an impact on Tuesday. The senior from Chicago accumulated 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 3 made three-pointers in 37 minutes of game action. Burnett is fifth on the team in scoring with 10.5 points per game this season.

Washington vs. Michigan CBB Prediction:

I like Washington in this contest. A plethora of numbers bolster the case for the Huskies. Washington is 12-6 ATS after a loss and 7-3 ATS as a road underdog since the start of last season. Furthermore, the Huskies are 5-4 ATS with the rest disadvantage and 14-12 ATS in conference games since the beginning of last season.

And finally, Washington is 5-2 ATS against ranked opponents and 25-21 ATS in regular season games since the inception of the 2023 campaign. This line is likely inflated due to Michigan’s 94-75 win over UCLA on Tuesday and Washington’s 88-54 loss to Michigan State on Thursday. I think this game will be much closer than both of those contests. I’m backing the Huskies and the points in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon. 

Washington vs. Michigan CBB Prediction: WASHINGTON HUSKIES +14.5
