For the third time this season, Washington State forward Mouhamed Gueye was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. The 6-foot-11 big man from Senegal played a big role in the Cougars wins over Stanford and California. He previously won the award in mid-January, coincidentally after a homestand against Stanford and California. He also took home the award in November during non-conference play.
On Thursday in the 66-60 victory over the Cardinal, he finished with eight points and a team high nine rebounds while adding a block and two steals. The Cougs started out strong in this one and lead 33-21 at half before needing to hold off a Cardinal comeback in the second half.
