The Washington State Cougars picked up a big victory over the California Golden Bears in much-needed fashion, holding on to, and building on, a lead in the final minutes, to win 65-57.
After the gut-wrenching collapse on Thursday, Washington State (10-7, 3-3 Pac-12) flipped the script. They took a lead into crunch time, held on, grinded it out on both sides of the ball and pushed the game out of reach. In the closing three minutes, the Cougars were able to outscore Cal (9-9, 2-5) 9-3 to push the lead to the final margin of eight.
