Cougs Let One Slip Away Against USC at Beasley

In Case You Missed It
PULLMAN, Wash. – With the ball in hand and a chance to win the game in the final seconds at Beasley Coliseum, Washington State (9-12, 2-7 Pac-12) could not find the magic touch as USC (14-6, 4-5 Pac-12) held on to pull off the comeback, 73-72, win over the Cougars Friday night. For three quarters, the Cougs found themselves in control of a back-and-forth battle with the Trojans before turnovers in the fourth quarter became too much to overcome for WSU. Up by as much as 10 in the fourth and by nine as late as 5:34 to go in the game, the Cougars were unable to handle the increased pressure of the Trojans who forced seven late turnovers against WSU which resulted in 12 points.
