Rallying from a 13-point first half deficit, the WSU Cougars started the New Year and their Pac-12 season on the right foot Sunday night when they went into Washington’s building and came away with an upset victory, 79-74.
WSU moved to 8-5 overall and 1-0 in Pac-12 play, while the Huskies fell to 7-6 and 0-1.
The Cougs hadn’t given fans much to be excited about this season after a nonconference slate that featured losses to Loyola Chicago, San Jose State and New Orleans, so it would be understandable if you didn’t make it a priority to find the game on ESPNU tonight.
