It is strange to think the WSU men's basketball team was advancing to the second round of the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas when its season ended abruptly due to the coronavirus. The first-round win over Colorado was Jeff Pollard's first postseason win as a Cougar and, strangely, the last game he played for Washington State University.
Pollard was the captain of the 2019-20 team that needed his veteran leadership on and off the court.
"It was abrupt. I mean, nobody expects that, and it was a tough pill to swallow, to have the season end like that," Pollard said.
