The Washington State Cougars pulled away in the second half against the California Golden Bears for a 63-57 victory.
WSU (15-15, 10-9 in Pac-12) was again anchored by another big second half from T.J. Bamba, who scored 14 in the second half alone. Cal, (3-26, 2-16) in typical Cal fashion, kept the game way too close for a large majority before the Cougars used a 14-5 run to seize control.
Mouhamed Gueye started hot with all seven of the Cougars first seven points in the first three minutes to give WSU the slight edge. Jack Wilson (yes you read that right) was the first Coug not named Gueye to score to put the Cougars up four.
