PULLMAN – The rivalry with Gonzaga may be on hold, but that alone won’t keep the Washington State basketball team out of Spokane.
The Cougars (8-5, 1-0 Pac-12) will venture to Spokane Arena for Wednesday’s 8 p.m. game against Oregon State (4-11, 0-2). WSU often plays one game in Spokane in order to entice semi-local fans who are reluctant to make the 80 mile drive to Pullman.
“We’re playing up in Spokane so that in a bad weather time of year fans do not have to come down the road to us,” said coach Ernie Kent after Sunday’s win over Washington.
