Here’s what happened to delay WSU vs. Stanford
Everyone who tuned in to ESPNU at 2 p.m. PT on Thursday to watch the Washington State Cougars play the Stanford Cardinal was greeted with an odd message: Game delayed pending Covid results.
The scenes were surreal — players just shooting around, coaches sitting on benches, communication sparse. First it was 15 minutes. But 15 minutes turned into 30, and confusion reigned as to what exactly was happening as players retreated into their locker rooms.
Eventually, reports started leaking out that WSU was being tested at Stanford’s behest.
A source who would know put it even more bluntly to CougCenter: “Stanford demanded additional tests to play.”
