The Washington State men’s basketball team has a prime opportunity this week when they played host to the Arizona schools. Knock off No. 4 Arizona and complete the sweep against ASU and the Cougs would be riding a seven-game winning streak with a statement win on their resume. A close loss to Arizona and a win against the Sun Devils and the Cougs remain right on the bubble.
Instead, the Cougs now have a lot of work to do following a winless weekend.
The losses to the Wildcats and Sun Devils are a damaging but not fatal blow to WSU’s NCAA Tournament hopes.
