The Washington State Cougars had little trouble with their neighbors to the east on Wednesday, handing the Idaho Vandals a 78-63 loss at the Cowan Spectrum in Moscow.
The Cougars, who hadn’t played in a week since winning just one game at a holiday tournament on the Cayman Islands, moved to 4-4 on the season with the win. Idaho dropped to 3-6.
It certainly wasn’t the prettiest of games, particularly from the outset; WSU led 32-24 at the break while shooting just 45% eFG. Idaho, meanwhile, was languishing at 35.5% eFG, and each team reached double digits in turnovers in the first 20 minutes.
