PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) – Robert Franks, after missing four games with a hip contusion, returned to the court in a big way Thursday.

The 6-foot-9 senior scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds as WSU beat California 82-59 on Thursday in a clash of the Pacific 12 Conference’s winless teams.

Franks scored five quick points to open the second half with a jump shot and a 3-pointer wrapped around a lost ball turnover that put WSU ahead by double digits barely a minute into the final period.
