There are a number of ways to measuring how a particular defeat might be worse than another and one way is the margin of the loss, and by that metric, the Washington State Cougars suffered the worst loss of Ernie Kent’s tenure with a 98-50 loss to the Stanford Cardinal on the road.
A 41-point loss to the Utah Utes at home two years ago moves to second place.
The Cardinal (15-13 overall, 8-8 Pac-12) were dominant from tip to finish. Thirty five seconds into the game, WSU (11-17, 4-11) tied it at two with a Davante Cooper dunk.
