T.M. Selection: Colorado/Washington OVER.

I am on the over in the Colorado vs Washington game on Thursday. Colorado has been struggling lately but they have also had a tough schedule in their past few games. They have lost 2 of their previous 3 games but those 2 losses were to USC and UCLA who are both top 15 teams in the country and they both have been dominating in their conference play. Colorado kept up with both teams in those games though and their biggest loss was only by 6 points. They also won their most recent game on the road over Oregon who was starting to look a lot better in their games before Colorado knocked them off with an 82-78 road win. I think Colorado can keep up their performance in this road game and they are getting a much easier team to face too. I think Colorado will be able to put up points with ease on Washington but I also think they will be a bit fatigued from their tough schedule lately so I don't expect a big defensive effort from them in this game. Washington has looked much better in their games lately and they had won 3 games in a row before losing their most recent game to Oregon. They were embarrassed on the road in that game against Oregon losing by almost 30 points and only putting up 56 in that game. I think they are going to be angry from that loss and I expect them to play with a lot more heart in this game on their home court and put on a much better performance to make up for that last embarrassment. I think Washington is going to put up points here and really go after Colorado and I think Colorado will try to counter by putting up more points of their own. I think these teams are going to push each other to score all night with very little defense and I expect this game to come down to the wire. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 81-77 Colorado.
