Below, we have NCAAB odds and a pick for Colorado State vs Washington.
When Colorado State and Washington meet on Saturday, it'll be yet another opportunity for the Rams to cement themselves as one of the best teams in the country.
Colorado State has stormed onto the scene this season with seven consecutive wins to start the year. Led by dynamic point guard Isaiah Stevens, Niko Medved's Rams have the look of an elite offensive team. They're pouring in shots from everywhere on the floor while playing a fast, entertaining brand of basketball that fans from all over the country will fall in love with.
We've seen two sides of Washington to start the season. At its best, this team has a win over Xavier on a neutral floor — where it received positive contributions from all its key players. At its worst, it took a home loss to a Nevada team that's ranked 48th on KenPom.
Both teams could use a win here — Colorado State to keep its undefeated start alive, and Washington to pick up another resume-boosting victory.
Colorado State Rams
Remember the name Isaiah Stevens. Colorado State's superstar floor general has a fair argument for being the best point guard in the country.
Already this season, Stevens has posted games with 15 points and 10 assists, 22 points and 14 assists and 20 points and 11 assists. There isn't a matchup he'll see this season where he feels he doesn't have a mismatch.
Stevens has plenty of help around him, though. Joel Scott, Nique Clifford and Patrick Cartier all average between 10 and 14 points per game. Together, they make up the 13th-best offense, the 19th-best 3-point shooting team and the fourth-best 2-point shooting team in the country.
Where Colorado State is vulnerable is on the defensive side, where it ranks 59th in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. If a team gets hot against the Rams, they won't always put up much resistance.
Washington Huskies
Make no mistake — Washington has a player capable of getting hot.
Former Kentucky transfer Keion Brooks Jr. has emerged as one of the best scorers in the entire country, averaging 22 points per game so far this season. Brooks played 41 minutes in Washington's overtime loss to San Diego State, shooting 9-of-15 from the floor against one of the best defenses in the sport.
Despite Brooks' brilliance, Washington doesn't have many shotmakers alongside him. The Huskies are shooting just 28% from deep on the season, ranking 302nd in the country in that category.
It would be out of character for Washington to win this game by pouring in shots from the 3-point line, and that's what it might need to do against a Colorado State team that looks like the real deal.

Betting Pick & Prediction
While Washington has played up to its best competition thus far, Colorado State has taken care of business from start to finish.
With wins over Creighton and Colorado in their last two games, the Rams truly look like the best mid-major team in college basketball.
Stevens will be salivating over his matchup here, and we expect him to lead the Rams to a win and a cover.
