PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) -- Isaiah Watts and Andrej Jakimovski scored 18 points each and Myles Rice added 16 to help No. 19 Washington State rally past Southern California 75-72 on Thursday night.
The Cougars (22-7, 13-5 Pac-12) trailed by 12 points late in the first half and didn't take their first lead until 2:35 remaining on a 3-pointer from Watts, his fifth of the game.
USC freshman Isaiah Collier scored a game-high 24 points but missed a critical free throw with 23 seconds left that would have cut Washington State's lead to two points.
