PULLMAN – With four seniors in the starting lineup, alongside a freshman point guard in Malachi Flynn who is already ready for 33 minutes per game, Ernie Kent has kept a tight rotation this season.
Three Cougars average more than 33 minutes per game, two more are in the mid-20s. Robert Franks is the primary post player off the bench and Viont’e Daniels is the main guard – each play about 16 minutes per contest.
So WSU’s bench players have found another way to contribute. Kent has praised his team’s energy of late, and that has translated into a more competitive squad.
