PULLMAN – The Washington State football team lost in the Apple Cup, but a new piece of hardware arrived in Pullman last weekend anyway.
For the first time since 2009, when Klay Thompson’s 43-point game vaulted WSU to a win over San Diego in the Great Alaska Shootout, the Cougars experienced nirvana on a basketball court and hoisted a trophy after winning three games at the Wooden Legacy tournament on the CSU-Fullerton campus in southern California.
WSU took down three of the game’s more prominent mid-major programs en route to the championship, knocking down Saint Joe’s 75-71 in the first round, No.
