After trailing South Dakota State 14-3 nearing the end of the first quarter, Washington State finally found their groove and used a 13-3 second quarter to get them back into the game and they never looked back. The Cougs notched their fifth win of the season on Monday with a 61-41 victory over the Jacks, holding them to their lowest point total this season. The Jacks upset #10 Louisville 65-55 last Monday.
The Cougs had four players scoring in double digits while shooting 40.7% from the field and hauling in 41 rebounds on the night. They went 12 of 18 from the line but struggled from deep as they managed to hit just 5 of their 21 shots from beyond the arc.
