Remember when everyone said the Pac 10 was a joke of a conference and they should only be a one bid conference for the NCAA Tournament? (I’m guilty here) Well, the Pac 10 did only get two teams in the dance, but (11 seed) Washington “upset” (6 seed) Marquette and (3 seed) New Mexico on their way to the sweet sixteen. Also, Cal beat a good Louisville team in a 8 vs. 9 seed match-up. Louisville was picked by most to not only beat Cal, but give #1 seed Duke a scare if not beat them.
Enough of that, lets take a look inside the numbers for West Virginia vs Washington:
Just looking at the numbers, this should be a very close, competitive game. The only real advantage that sticks out is in favor of West Virginia on the offensive glass. Both teams limit their turnovers and shoot a high percentage from the field. Washington holds a slight advantage in terms of getting to the free throw line more frequently.
To me this game comes down to West Virginia’s big three of Da’Sean Butler, Kevin Jones and Devin Ebanks vs. Washington’s duo of Quincy Pondexter and Isaiah Thomas. Washington has been impressive to this point, but I think they’ll have problems tonight containing the big three of West Virginia. I see Bob Huggins and the Mountaineers moving on to the elite eight…and one step closer to the Final Four.
