Analyzing WSU’s Historic Win Over Arizona

What allowed the Cougs to pull off such a massive upset?

The Washington State Cougars pulled off the biggest win in program history on Saturday January 7th, taking down the 5th ranked Arizona Wildcats on their turf. This win is the Cougs’ first win against an AP top 5 school since George Raveling coached the team in 1983. WSU managed this impressive win with some good shooting, but also because Kyle Smith and his staff had an excellent gameplan for the Wildcats.

The coaches received some criticism over the course of the early season, but conference play has been off to a great start.
