Colorado has come on strong with five straight wins, and its last defeat came against Washington. The Buffaloes are efficient on the offensive end, but are at their best running set plays against a man-to-man defense. They won't have the same success against Washington's zone defense. The Huskies are still the best team in the Pac-12, and this spread is on the light side.
Colorado has been on quite a little run here in the Pac-12 Tournament, allowing only 109 points through two games. That's not a huge surprise considering the Buffs have had one of the better defenses in the conference all year long. Still, this will be their third game and three days, and you have to wonder if they're going to run out of gas soon. Going against the best defense in the Pac-12 won't help matters for them, but I'm not a big fan of this spread. I do like the Under, though, as Washington's offense is inefficient.
