The Washington State Cougars will get Pac-12 play going earlier than usual when they host the Oregon State Beavers on Wednesday night (7 pm PT, Pac-12 Networks). This early conference game isn’t pandemic-related, it was part of the Pac-12’s plan to move to a 20-game schedule and was set in stone long before the world went bizarro.
Thanks to unbalanced scheduling, WSU played Oregon State just once last season. That was Klay Day, when Klay Thompson and Steph Curry watched the Cougs upset the Beavers in front of a packed Beasley Coliseum crowd.
