WSU Basketball gets a much-needed win

Γεια σας απu03cc την Αθu03aeνα, Ελλu03acδα, u03ccπου ο καιρu03ccς δεν εu03afναι ζεστu03ccς, αλλu03ac τουλu03acχιστον ο u03aeλιος u03adχει βγει!

Your Washington State Cougars basketball team, at long last, heeded the words of Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross. In Saturday’s case, a win in the standings was there for the taking, and the Cougs played the role of closers. I probably don’t need to tell you how much the role of “closer” has been absent from Kyle Smith’s team this season, so when the California Golden Bears cut a 56-49 WSU lead at the 5:02 mark to a 56-54 WSU lead with just under four minutes remaining, anyone who thought, “here we go again” was justified for doing so.
