WSU came back to win after trailing at the half for the third time this season.
FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) - Malachi Flynn is Washington State's only returning starter, so naturally he wanted the ball with the game on the line.
Flynn hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5 seconds remaining, lifting WSU to a 75-71 victory over Saint Joseph's after the Cougars rallied from a 20-point first-half deficit in the opening round of the Wooden Legacy on Thursday.
Flynn didn't have a good game, with just nine points, two assists, one turnover and zero rebounds.
