After scoring just three points in the opening quarter, the Washington State Cougars scored a whopping 68 points in the final three quarters to complete a 17-point comeback win over the USC Trojans 71-63.
After scoring the least amount of points in a quarter in program history to open the game, Washington State (10-5, 2-2 in Pac-12) outscored USC (8-5, 1-2) by 22 in the final 30 minutes of play to take a huge, resumé-building win in Los Angeles. It’s the teams first win in LA since 2014.
The Cougars were held scoreless for the first 7:58 of the ballgame before Ula Motuga would hit the lone basket, a 3-pointer, in the first quarter.
