Pleasant News; March Madness Hero Picks WSU

WICHITA, Kan. -- Abilene Christian forward Joe Pleasant, a second-team All-Southland Conference performer this year, signed a financial aid agreement Wednesday and will transfer to WSU with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-8 Pleasant averaged 10.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 23.6 minutes-per-game during the 2020-21 season for a Wildcat team that finished 24-5, won the Southland tournament title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament after upsetting third-seeded Texas.

With ACU trailing 52-51 and 1.2 seconds remaining, Pleasant stepped to the foul line and sank two free throws to secure the victory.
