This is a 10* play on WASHINGTON

Colorado has had to play each of the last two days, putting them at a distinct disadvantage here in the Pac 12 semifinals against top seeded Washington. The Huskies had a closer than expected call (for some!) against USC yesterday afternoon, but we took the underdog in that one, noting the Trojans were a better team than most realized. They showed that by sticking with favored UW despite the Huskies playing very well. UW made 13 of 28 three-pointers and led by double digits in the second half, before USC went on a late run. Because the final score ended up being close, we're getting a relative gift from the oddsmakers today in only having to lay a small number against a team play for a third time in as many days. Washington is very good defensively, ranking inside the top 20 nationally in points allowed per 100 possessions. They beat Colorado in both regular season games, winning by seven and nine points. The Buffaloes were hardly impressive in Wednesday's five point win over California. They got off to a great start yesterday vs. Oregon State, building a lead as big as 21 points. But they almost blew it and we think they're officially set to run out of gas tonight. Play on WASHINGTON
