Cougs Run Out Of Time At Stanford

In Case You Missed It
PALO ALTO, Calif. – A slow opening 20 minutes proved to be too much for the Cougars (8-9, 1-4) to overcome on the road at Stanford (10-7, 4-1) Friday night as the Cardinal held off a late charge by WSU to win 70-57 at Maples Pavilion. From the outset the Cougs put themselves in a hole as the Cardinal jumped out to a 10-0 lead just minutes into the game as Stanford's superior rebounding paid immediate dividends. The early run was one of a handful of big runs by the Cardinal in the first half as Stanford pushed their lead to 28 by halftime and as mush as 30 early in the third quarter as the Cougs' never could get their offense rolling.
