PULLMAN – A career day by Charles Callison was just enough to get the Cougars back on the winning track against their perennial nemesis.
Washington State outlasted Colorado 91-89 in overtime thanks to Callison’s career-high 30 points.
Callison connected on almost everything, even a deep step-back jumper during which coach Ernie Kent begged him not to shoot, then laughed as the shot went in. He made 12-of-16 shots, and 6-of-9 3-point attempts, at one point hitting from deep on three consecutive possessions to turn a tie game into a 70-61 WSU lead.
“After the first few it looked like I was throwing a rock into the ocean,” Callison said.
