Noah Williams holds WSU’s NCAA Tournament fate in his hands

WSU has been nearly unbeatable when Noah Williams is at least near average on offense. When he struggles, the Cougs struggle.

Rewind 351 days to February 22, 2021 and you’ll find Noah Williams at the pinnacle of his Washington State basketball career. The then-sophomore had just been named National Player of the Week after a stunning 72-point outburst in two games against the Bay Area schools. Williams looked like a blossoming star and future alpha of the WSU program.

Now, nearly a full year later, Williams is coming off a weekend where he scored three total points against those same Bay Area schools and has only scored 69 points in his last nine games combined.
