WSU Cougars return to NIT, will host Santa Clara in opening round
The Washington State Cougars are continuing their most successful season in a decade by making their first postseason appearance since 2012 after being selected to play in the NIT as a No. 4 seed where they will host Santa Clara in the first round.
The game will be on either Tuesday or Wednesday in Beasley Coliseum, and game time has not yet been announced.
The Cougars’ status was considered tenuous in the lead up to selection, but it turned out that they were comfortably in the field. If they are able to get past the Broncos in the first round, they’ll face the winner of SMU and Nicholls State.
