All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Washington vs Utah Game Preview, Pac-12 Tournament


Why Utah Will Win

Utah might not be all that great, and it might be on a three game losing streak, but it played Washington tough in the two meetings.

It lost at home 74-68 when it shot well but couldn’t hold down the Huskies from three, and it lost a double-overtime battle on the road in late January even though it couldn’t hit anything in a few key moments.

Overall this isn’t a great shooting team, but it will hit free throws and it will generate a whole lot of threes because it shoots a ton.

Washington can’t rebound, it’s awful at this whole shooting thing, and it doesn’t do anything to generate easy points with the extra pass or two.

Why Washington Will Win

This team is finding ways to win lately.

It collapsed as February rolled on, but it picked things back up over the last few weeks with a 3-1 run thanks to better shooting helped by generating assists.

The backcourt has to move the ball around and it has to generate makable shots. It sounds simple, but there are too many problems when the offense tries to force things.

It’s 5-0 on the year when coming up with 15 or more assists and 7-2 when it has 14 or more.

It came up with 17 in the first win over the Utes.

Washington vs Utah: What’s Going To Happen

It’s not like beating Washington State, Oregon, and Oregon State is all that big a deal, but at least Washington is playing well – especially defensively at just the right time. What is it doing over the last few weeks?

It’s making shots.

Again, this comes with the assists and ball movement, but Washington 10-1 when it hits 44% from the field.

Teams averaged 44% from the field against Utah.

Why Utah Will Win

Expect the Utes to be far better from Game 1 to Game 2.

They were the last team to get their 2020 college football season going, and it showed in the 33-17 loss to USC. That wasn’t the normal Utah team that dominates on the lines and controls games by being more physical – but that’s coming.

What have we seen so far this year when it comes to how team play after getting a game or two under its belt? More often than not, everything starts to change.

Washington wants to smash away with the running game, and new head coach Jimmy Lake wants to set a physical tone right away. Utah held USC to under 100 yards rushing and came up with ten tackles for loss.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Washington Will Win

Utah has to be a whole lot sharper offensively and a whole lot better with the passing game. Jake Bentley came in from South Carolina with a whole lot of experience and the ability settle the position right away, but he struggled to push the ball down the field and threw two interceptions – USC ended up coming up with three picks.

Washington’s defense has been a killer on third downs so far, the offensive line has been outstanding, and the team is dominating the time of possession battle.

The Huskies are holding on to the ball over 37 minutes per game. If Utah isn’t controlling the clock and the tempo, forget it.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Everyone likes to talk about USC and Oregon as the stars of the Pac-12, but Washington is playing as well or better than both of them.

The offense is balanced, QB Dylan Morris settled in and was more comfortable last week against Arizona, and the team is going to hold up well against the Utah defensive front.
