PULLMAN – Fans joined Hall of Fame coach George Raveling in packing Bohler Gym to watch Washington State beat Pacific (Ore.) 97-70 in its second exhibition game.
Although the game was dubbed Flashback Friday and meant to honor the program’s past, the blowout victory served mostly as a glimpse at its future.
Newcomer Renard Suggs, a junior college transfer, paced the team in scoring with 18 points. He scored 14 of those in his first four minutes after subbing in, a sweltering stretch that saw him make his first five shots, including four 3-pointers.
The second half belonged to fellow newcomers Robert Franks and Viont’e Daniels.
