The Washington State Cougars will defend their basketball village against a Portland State Vikings attack on Sunday afternoon in Pullman (2 pm PT, Pac-12 Networks). WSU is undefeated on the year but has made things interesting, with every game so far coming down to a last-minute defensive stop.
Portland State has started 1-1, losing its opener against intracity rival Portland before easily dispatching the NAIA Northwest University Eagles.* The Vikings ended 2019-2020 on a hot stretch before the lockdown, but head coach Barret Peery lost seven of his top eight rotation players from that squad.
