Noah Williams’ three-point attempt at the buzzer hit the front of the rim and Washington State lost 63-61 to the No. 20 USC Trojans on Saturday night. The loss is WSU’s 11th straight to the Trojans and drops the Coguars to 6-2 on the season and 1-1 in Pac-12 play.
The game came down to the final few possessions. Leading by one after a T.J. Bamba three, the Cougars had a huge defensive opportunity with less than 30 seconds to play. However, Michael Flowers allowed penetration, which led to Chevez Goodwin getting a tough bucket and a foul.
