PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) Freshman Efe Abogidi had his third consecutive double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Washington State beat Northwestern State 62-52 on Wednesday to improve upon its best start in 13 years.
Washington State (8-0) won its first 14 games of the 2007-08 season.
Abogidi also had a career-high tying four blocks, including a pair in a 37-second span early in the second half. The 6-foot-10 Nigerian is averaging 16.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks over the past three games.
