DALLAS - For the third time in program history Washington State (21-14) is on to the third round of the National Invitational Tournament as the Cougs did what no other team could do in 2021-22, upset the one-seeded Mustangs of SMU (24-9) on their home court of Moody Coliseum. From the opening tip until the final horn the Cougs led against the home Mustangs en route to a 75-63 victory Sunday in Dallas. The win snapped the nation's third-longest home winning streak as SMU entered the day having won 19-straight contests inside of the coliseum.
Leading the way for the Cougs was their fifth-year captain, Michael Flowers, who scored a team-best 22 points on 6-of-13 shooting including 3-of-8 from distance.
