Oregon has now got several kids back that had been on the injury list. This has increased their athleticism greatly from what they were playing with during that injury plagued stretch. Obviously this has improved their Defense considerably.
Oregon is giving up 64.9 ppg and Washington 65.0 ppg. Both teams are limiting opponents to just a tick below 40% fg shooting. Both teams are real close in defensive efficiency ratings. That's why the total is sitting at 132 presently.
In fact these two teams are close in about all efficiency metrics.
Now that the Ducks lineup has been upgraded I believe they will shoot the deep ball well at home against the UW zone. They shot well against UCLA and had the Bruins on the ropes. (I had UCLA +4.5 for a big play that night, they had a miraculous rally from 13 down with just over a few minutes left. Regulation ended in a most improbable play with 1 second to go to force overtime. The Ducks got beat in ot. I was damn lucky to win that game and didn't really deserve to) They shot well against a good stingy Beaver D in the Civil War. You may have seen them smoke Zona in Tucson. They were much to quick for the Wildcats and their athleticism really hurt Zona on the glass. The backend of that trip they were playing the Sun Devils tight until Paul White went down. He eventually returned but was not the same going 0-6 from the floor after the ankle injury.
I read this morning that Altman said even though White did not practice he "thinks White will be ready to go tonight." I also saw where White said he expected to be playing tonight.
The Huskies look like an attractive dog, there's no denying that. But it's easy to get lost in the trees "Deep In The Woods" on Kilkenny Floor. This floor can be discombobulating to visitors much the same way the Blue Turf can be at Boise St. I expect there to be 12K+ rowdy and jacked up fans at a sold out Knight Arena.
With Washington at 5-0 and Oregon at 2-3 I believe the Ducks will go all out with a maximum effort here. Also think Oregon wins the battle on the glass and gets some putbacks against the zone for some easy buckets. Another thing to keep in mind is if the Ducks do happen to fall behind they can get back in it with their full court pressure. Not many teams have that capability.
Bottom line, the Quack Attack just has to have 1 or 2 more positive possessions to cover the 2.5 impost.
The only thing I can guarantee is the Ducks are going to be a "live" short fav tonight. Is that enough for the cover? We shall soon see. I will be on the Ducks. Hopefully waiting to see if the price comes down anymore. But that may just be wishful thinking. Lay it.

@ funky, your comment on the Ducks 3 pt shooting is interesting. I'm always looking for zone busters. 34.8% on the year, but 41.7% last 3 games. And they did do that against 3 decent perimeter defending teams:
AZ State=33%
Arizona=30.4%
USC=34.6%
Now the Huskies aren't that weak at defending the arc for a 2-3 zone team. They allow 31.9% on the year, and 22% last 3. They allow 19.7 3pt attempts pg as well.
Were the Huskies last 3 opponents bad shooters from deep?
Cal=35.3%
Stanford=33.3%
Colorado=33.7%
Not the Golden State Warriors necessarily, but the Huskies held those 3 to to nearly 11% worse than those teams are.
What happens tonight is the question.
Another zone busting technique is fast transition. The Ducks take their time getting down court and utilize long sets.
The under is also talking to me even at the hard low #.

the one thing you gotta take into consideration is the in conference SOS. the pac 12 blows as itis. now check out who washington has played? of course their d looks great. they've played the lower half of the conference. cal, stanford, colorado. i don't know if you've watched stanford play, but it's an eyesore. currently washington is ranked #12 in conference SOS. oregon has looked mediocre because oregon has played the "upper tier", oregon ranks #4 in conference SOS playing zona, zona st, and usc. not taking anything away from wash, they have looked great. but if you check out the kenpom ratings for the teams they have played, it's definitely going to be their biggest challenge yet to play an oregon team that has already gotten the shaft of the pac 12 without their best player. hell, washington has only played 5 teams their entire season ranked outside of kenpom's top 100
No team is as good as it looks when winning nor are they as bad as they look when losing

I'll ride with Syracuse-West all day long. They've been covering machines all month. Road, Home, Dog, Fave don't matter, they've quietly made me and their backers a ton of money in January.
