The Arizona Wildcats are welcoming December by jumping right into Pac-12 play, hosting the Washington Huskies on Thursday night at McKale Center.
Washington (4-4) is coming off a 5-21 season in 2020-21, going 4-16 in conference games, and coach Mike Hopkins is in fifth season and only three years removed from winning the Pac-12 regular season title.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Washington has the worst odds of any Pac-12 team to win the league, at +20000. Arizona (6-0) is second-best at +300.
To better understand the Huskies, we reached out to Thomas Adamski of SB Nation sister site UW Dawg Pound.
