Pacific at Washington

There was much talk about UW getting this number one seed, and whether or not they deserved it. They did deserve it, but Pacific poses potential matchup problems for them here. Pacific has size, something that UW does not have. Pacific, prior to losing to Utah State was in the midst of a twenty game conference winning streak. Pacific is the real deal folks, and they'll give the Huskies all they want here. The Huskies did not play a lick of defense the other night, and will need to here or they'll be in trouble. This is a big number for this stage in the tournament. Pacific is 8-1 ATS after 2 straight games with 9 or less offensive rebounds this season. Three stars on Pacific plus the points here.
