WSU will face SMU in NIT second round

The Washington State Cougars will play SMU in the second round of the NIT after the Mustangs dispatched the Nicholls State Colonels on Wednesday night at home, 68-58.

The game will tip off at 12 p.m. PT on Sunday and will be broadcast only on ESPN+, ESPN’s subscription-based streaming platform. You can sign up here if you don’t already have a subscription. (Since I have children and like to watch European soccer, I already have the bundle.)

The 1-seed Mustangs — also the top overall seed in the NIT bracket — raced out to an early lead against the Colonels, then gave back most of that lead, then pulled away in the final minute to post a double-digit final margin.
