After entering the weekend with big hopes for an NCAA tournament push, the Washington State Cougars have come out winless in the homestand after a stunning loss to the Arizona State Sun Devils, 58-55.
ASU (8-15, 4-9 in Pac-12) gifted WSU (14-9, 7-5) a final possession down three with 4.7 seconds left, but the Cougs couldn’t inbound the ball cleanly and Noah Williams heaved the ball down court and right into the hands of a Luther Muhammad, who dribbled out the clock and silenced Beasley Coliseum.
“We just didn’t have enough juice, just didn’t play hard enough,” WSU coach Kyle Smith said.
