ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands — Josh Hawkinson scored a career-high 29 points and added 14 rebounds, as Washington State downed Montana 87-63 Saturday in a consolation-round game at the Paradise Jam tournament.
Conor Clifford added 12 points, Malachi Flynn had 11 and Charles Callison 10 for the Cougars (3-1), who went up 41-20 by halftime and led by as many as 28 points in the second half.
“After taking a tough loss last night (to No. 22 Creighton), we knew we had to bounce back,” Hawkinson said. “It’s hard to double two big guys inside. With Conor being the inside presence that he is, he allows me to get open shots.
