The ninth-seeded Washington State Cougars will look for their first NCAA tournament win in program history when they face the eighth-seeded South Florida Bulls on Sunday night. This is only the second time WSU has participated in March Madness and the first time since 1991. The Bulls are participating in the tournament for the seventh time and seeking to get to the second round for the fourth time.
WSU earned an at-large bid by way of big wins over UCLA, Arizona, and Oregon State. The Bulls grabbed the American Athletic Conference’s automatic bid, but they likely would have been invited to the Big Dance anyway.
