The Washington State Cougars soundly defeated the Northern Kentucky Norse 68-47 in their final non-conference home game.
WSU (4-4) needed a solid win to reestablish confidence after dropping their last two games and delivered in dominant fashion. The Cougars outrebounded NKU (5-5) 37-10, including 15 offensive rebounds, as the Cougars looked like the best team on the floor for the full 40 minutes.
While the Cougs started slow, it didn’t take long for them to heat up on both ends of the court. D.J. Rodman gave WSU the lead with a layup with 13:23 to go in the first half and the Cougs never let go of it.
