Washington Hasn’t Won A Game In Over Five Weeks

The Washington Huskies are not a good basketball team. There are no two ways about it. Expectations were high entering the season, with freshman Markelle Fultz committing to the program, but the Huskies are just 9-19 and have not won a game since January 18 (an overtime victory over a mediocre Colorado team). They will look to get their first win in nearly six weeks when they visit the UCLA Bruins on Wednesday.

Shark Bites
  • Washington is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games against UCLA.
  • The total has gone OVER in 4 of the past 5 meetings between Washington and UCLA.
  • UCLA is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games as home favorite.

Fultz has been a star for Washington, cementing himself as the likely No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA draft, but one player can’t fix a team on his own. Fultz is averaging nearly 10 points more than anyone else on the team, he’s the only player averaging more than 3.0 assists per game and is the only qualifying player to shoot better than 39 percent from beyond the arc. To make matters worse, he missed the last game with a sore knee and may miss the final two games of the year.

The player who may supplant Fultz as the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft? UCLA’s Lonzo Ball. The freshman has proven to be one of the most versatile point guards in college, as he has averaged 14.8 points, 7.6 assists and 6.2 rebounds while shooting 54.8 percent from the field. Ball torched Fultz and Washington in their contest earlier this season for 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals.
