The Washington State Cougars fell short of a season sweep of the #6 Arizona Wildcats, losing 63-58 in Pullman.
WSU (9-13, 4-7 in Pac-12) couldn’t get the open shots to fall in the second half after closing the lead down to four before the end of the first half. While the Cougs were able to pull within one, Arizona (18-3, 7-3) pulled away late with a clutch 8-3 run in the final minutes.
The Wildcats came out hungry, looking to avenge their loss in Tucson. After a back-and-forth first two minutes, the Wildcat defense dug their heels in and made life tough for the Cougs.
