What to Know

The Stanford Cardinal won both of their matches against the Washington Huskies last season (91-75 and 79-61) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. Stanford and Washington will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 6 p.m. ET at Alaska Airlines Arena. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

After constant struggles on the road, the Cardinal have finally found some success away from home. They snuck past the Washington State Cougars with a 62-57 victory on Thursday. Forward Spencer Jones (16 points), forward Brandon Angel (16 points), and forward Jaiden Delaire (14 points) were the top scorers for Stanford.

Meanwhile, the California Golden Bears typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Washington proved too difficult a challenge. Washington came out on top against the Golden Bears by a score of 64-55. Guard Daejon Davis and guard Terrell Brown Jr. were among the main playmakers for the Huskies as the former had eight points and seven assists in addition to six steals and the latter had 21 points. Davis had some trouble finding his footing against the Colorado Buffaloes on Sunday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Cardinal are expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

The wins brought Stanford up to 10-4 and Washington to 7-7. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Stanford is stumbling into the contest with the 14th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 15.4 on average. To make matters even worse for Stanford, the Huskies enter the matchup with 17.9 takeaways on average, good for 13th best in college basketball.
