The Washington State men’s basketball team begins its 2021-2022 campaign against the Alcorn State Braves on Tuesday (Noon PT, Pac-12 Networks). This WSU squad is facing the highest expectations of any in over a decade, and Alcorn State provides a soft launchpad.
The Braves are projected at No. 341 by KenPom.com and No. 342 by Bart Torvik. That’s out of a 358 Division 1 men’s basketball teams. Washington State is currently projected at No. 63 by KenPom and No. 56 by Torvik. Safe to say, the numbers predict a big opening day win for Wazzu.
