PULLMAN – So this is is how it is going to be this year.
The improbable and the indomitable careened toward a dramatic finish as Washington State men’s basketball team clawed its way back from a deficit that reached 22 points in the first half to overtake Texas Southern and fend off the Tigers in overtime for an 86-84 season-opening victory.
“This game is probably a microcosm of what our season’s going to be,” acknowledged WSU coach Ernie Kent – a young team tested by adversity and overcoming it.
“This shows a lot about our team,” guard Malachi Flynn said.
