WSU plays at Stanford tonight while across the bay, UW plays at Cal.
I think it's an important week for Stanford...losing to both Washington schools would not be a great way to start off conference play. Anyone recall Stanford starting 0-4 in conference play in recent memory?
WSU is playing in just their second game on the road not counting neutral sites. They lost at Pepperdine in OT earlier this season. Right now Pepperdine is 5th in the WCC and looking at thier season, it doesn't appear impressive. I'd go with Stanford in this one.
As for Washington, they are 2-0 on the road...in the state of Washington (at Seattle and WSU). This will be their first true road game of the season so there's no telling how the Huksies will do at Cal who has the 30th best rebounding margin in the country at this point. Cal hasn't been that great at home this season like UW so I'd say this is a toss up, but given the Cal rebounding edge, I'll go with Cal in this one.

On an unrelated note, Minnesota is about to face three straight Top 12 teams starting with @ #12 Illinois, then @ #5 Indiana, then at home against #2 Michigan.

Yes it looks like the B1G is stacked. Minny will have two more two-game stretches where they play ranked teams. I'm sure they appreciate having a cupcake called Nebraska on the schedule.

Pretty much agrees with my assessment that Stanford could be in a huge hole if they don't win a game this week.
