A look at things to watch this week in the Pac-12 Conference:
GAME OF THE WEEK: Washington (18-4, 9-0) at Arizona State (15-6, 6-3), Saturday. The Huskies' three-game lead at the midpoint of the Pac-12 season is the second-largest since 1978-79, when the conference went to the 18-game schedule. If Washington can win at Arizona on Thursday and beat the Sun Devils, the Pac-12 title will essentially wrapped up. Arizona State will be no pushover. The Sun Devils, tied for second in the Pac-12 at 6-3, can match their best conference start since 1992-93 with a pair of wins this week.
