The Washington State Cougars and Stanford Cardinal began with an unprecedented start and ended in all-too-familiar fashion for the Cougars: The Cardinal outscored the Cougars 35-22 in the second half to secure a win on a Thursday afternoon in Pullman, 62-57.
After a 75-minute delay in a game already pushed back 18 hours by the conference, the Cougars gave away an 11-point lead in the second half by not scoring a point for 12:05 and failing to record a field goal for 14:21. Stanford closed out the final 17 minutes of the game on a 30-11 run.
