WSU rally falls short in quarterfinals to Oregon, 75-70

After rallying from 19 down, the Washington State Cougars just quite couldn’t complete an all-time comeback against the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks closed on a 7-0 run in the final minutes to steal a 75-70 win in the Pac-12 quarterfinals.

WSU (17-16) allowed Oregon (19-13) run out to a 19 point lead in the first half. The Cougars began to storm back with a late run to end the first half and carried momentum into the second. WSU got a lead up to three with 4:15 remaining, but the Ducks stifled the Cougars in the final three and a half minutes to regain, and hold on to the lead, advancing them to the Pac-12 semi-finals.
