Preview: WSU hosts Oregon for penultimate regular season game
Expect a lot of this tonight.The first time the Washington State Cougars and Oregon Ducks faced off this year, back near the end of January, WSU shot a ridiculous 77 percent in the first half. When you factor in that four of the makes were 3s, that works out to an absurd 86% effective field goal percentage — just a liiiiiiitle bit higher than their mark of 52% across all Pac-12 games.
Despite that — and despite finishing at 61% eFG, which is still awesome — they went on to lose by 20. Ernieball!
The Cougs will try and rekindle some of that first half magic tonight when they host the Ducks for the second game of the season series. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. PT and the game will be on FS1.
