PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Andrej Jakimovski led a rally midway through the second half that sent the Cougars to a 72-59 win over Stanford for the Cougars' seventh straight victory.
The Cougars’ 10th win in their last 11 games at least temporarily put WSU (20-6, 11-4 Pac-12) in a first-place tie with No. 5 Arizona, which played Arizona State Saturday night. The Cougars’ next game is at Arizona on Thursday.
Jakimovski hit a 3-pointer for the 15th and final lead change and began a 16-2 run that he finished with another 3-pointer and a layup for a 68-55 lead at the final media timeout.
