PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Portland State was one of the few NCAA Division I basketball teams that offered Josh Hawkinson a scholarship. Sunday, Hawkinson provided the Vikings with a painful reminder how dynamic a player they lost to Washington State.
Hawkinson, coming off a poor performance against No. 13 Gonzaga in WSU's only loss, led all players with 24 points and 10 rebounds in the Cougars' 91-67 rout of Portland State.
"He was the best player on the floor," summed up Portland State coach Tyler Geving.
"Last game was one of my worst games ever," Hawkinson said.
