PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — TJ Bamba scored 20 points, Mouhamed Gueye had 17 points and 15 rebounds — his 11th double-double of the season and fourth in the last five games — and Washington State beat in-state rival Washington 56-51 Saturday night.
Washington State (11-15, 5-9 Pac-12) opened the game with an 8-0 run before Koren Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 9:59 left in the first half to give the Huskies their first lead at 11-10. Gueye hit a jumper and followed with a three-point play about two minutes later and the Cougars never again trailed. Cole Bajema's layup made it 20-all with four minutes left, but WSU scored the next 11 points to take the lead for good and Andrej Jakimovski hit a 3-pointer to open the second half that made it 34-22.
