There were some high expectations in Seattle entering the season, but the Washington Huskies are looking a lot like LSU last year. Washington has the most exciting NBA prospect in the country (Markelle Fultz) but he has not been enough to lift the middling program, as the Huskies have gone 2-6 SU and ATS in conference play so far. It won’t get any easier either, as Washington must visit the 19-2 Arizona Wildcats Sunday.
- Washington is 1-13 SU in their past 14 games on the road.
- Arizona is 4-1 ATS in their past five games against Washington.
- Arizona is 1-4-1 ATS in their past 6 games at home.
It’s been the Markelle Fultz show for Washington this season, as the freshman leads the team in points, assists and shots while sitting second in rebounds, steals and blocks. Aside from Fultz, only two other players on this Huskies’ squad averages double-digit points or shoot more than 35 percent from beyond the arc.
Arizona has looked indestructible since the start of December, as the Wildcats have won 13-straight while posting an average scoring margin of plus-15.4 points per game. Arizona was dominating with freshman throughout most of the season but is only loading up more with the recent return of Allonzo Trier. Trier had missed the first 19 games of the season following a PED suspension, but the sophomore has averaged 14.5 points, 5.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his two games since returning.
