The Arizona Wildcats (14-6, 4-3) will go for the Evergreen sweep on Saturday when they visit Pullman to take on the Washington State Cougars (13-9, 4-5) at 6 p.m. MST on Pac-12 Network.
It’s the first time the Wildcats have faced the Cougars under first-year coach Kyle Smith, who was hired away from the University of San Francisco. WSU is no longer the pushover it was under Ernie Kent, currently ranking as the No. 126 team in the country per KenPom, its highest mark since 2012-13.
Still, KenPom only gives the Cougars a 20 percent chance of knocking off the Wildcats.
