The Washington State Cougars (4-3) host the New Orleans Privateers (3-3) this afternoon at 3 p.m in Beasley Coliseum.
With college football conference championship games taking priority over most sport fans, this game might be worth checking into during TV timeouts and halftimes.
The Cougars are coming off a too-close-for-comfort 83-76 win against Utah Valley, despite holding a steady 49-31 lead at the end of the first half. As we’ve seen early through the first seven games of the non-conference schedule, WSU should take no opponent lightly as the losses have piled up to teams like Loyola-Chicago and San Jose State, and the Cougs barely held on to beat DII Central Washington 81-76 a few weeks ago.
