PULLMAN – After a three-game skid to open Pac-12 Conference play, the Washington State Cougars head into the second week of January looking to rediscover their form and find some momentum. Perhaps nobody else in the conference has more of both of those things at the moment than the Cougars’ next opponent.
The Stanford Cardinal didn’t have much of either throughout nonconference play, posting a 6-7 record with a pair of Big Sky losses along the way, but arrive in Pullman for Thursday’s 6 p.m. tip at Beasley Coliseum with a 2-1 Pac-12 record after a few dramatic wins last week in Palo Alto.
