The Washington State Cougars escaped with a massive win over the Arizona State Sun Devils, 65-58, on Friday in Pullman.
It was yet another Cardiac Coug victory. Arizona State (12-10, 4-6 in Pac-12) got within three with 52 seconds to go. The teams traded some free throws over the next 30 seconds with Krystal Leger-Walker putting WSU (17-8, 9-5) up five with her own pair of free throws. Jaddan Simmons drove inside into an open lane but Bella Murekatete blocked Simmons’ lay-up attempt, bouncing off ASU and turning the ball back over to WSU, which iced the game on a Johanna Teder layup.
