Washington vs Washington State College Basketball Betting Preview
Washington Basketball
The Washington Huskies come into this matchup after suffering their first loss of the season, falling 78-69 to the Baylor Bears in Texas.
Danny Sprinkle’s team went toe-to-toe with the Bears and even won the battle in the paint. However, turnovers and poor efficiency from beyond the arc (just 15.0%) allowed the game to slip away.
Losing your first road game is never easy, but the Huskies now have a chance to bounce back against the Cougars — and for that to happen, their best player, Hannes Steinbach, needs to show up.
The German forward, who scored only 10 points against Baylor, leads the team in points (14.7), rebounds (12.7) and blocks (1.7). On top of that, Steinbach also ranks second in assists (3.3), trailing only JJ Mandaquit (5.7), which is an impressive mark for a forward.
Washington State Basketball
On the other side, the Washington State Cougars are the complete opposite of the Huskies to start the season. After opening with two losses, David Riley’s squad finally broke through with an 81-71 win over St. Thomas, highlighted by a brilliant performance from Tomas Thrastarson.
The Icelandic guard dropped 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 25 minutes against the Tommies.
For tonight’s matchup, maintaining that level of play will be crucial, especially since the team’s star, Emmanuel Ugbo, will face a very tough matchup against Steinbach. That makes Thrastarson’s offensive production even more important.
Securing a win tonight would be huge for the Cougars, as they’ll host Southern Utah next week before heading out on back-to-back road trips to face the Chaminade Silverswords and the Bradley Braves.
Washington vs. Washington State Betting Analysis
This game fits perfectly with Evan Abrams' Early Home Dogs system, which targets early-season college basketball home teams catching points within their first five games.
These squads often return solid cores from the previous season, typically winning more than 10 games, yet are undervalued by the market due to early uncertainty or stronger non-conference opponents.
Playing at home early provides comfort and familiarity during a period when new lineups and rotations are still stabilizing across the country.
The energy of a home crowd, especially in smaller college arenas, can level the playing field.
Bettors tend to overrate established programs in these spots, creating value on competitive home underdogs that are often better prepared than their price suggests.
My Pick: Washington State +8.5
