The Washington State Cougars will attempt to go undefeated in non-conference play when facing the Northwestern State Demons on Wednesday afternoon in Pullman (2 pm PT, Pac-12 Networks). This is the final tune-up before the schedule gets much tougher in Pac-12 play.
The Demons are 1-9, coming off two consecutive losses to Gonzaga. This will be their third game in three days and fifth in six days. To give credit where credit is due, last night’s 17-point loss to Gonzaga is probably among Northwestern State’s best performances of the season. So, despite the rough schedule, the team is still giving maximum effort.
