Related Topics: Saint Mary's Gaels

Coming off their most impressive victory of the season, the Washington State Cougars (4-0) face their most challenging opponent yet when they take on the No. 21 Saint Mary's Gaels (5-0) in the semifinals of of the Wooden Legacy tournament.

Tip off is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. PT. You can watch the game on ESPNews or online via WatchESPN.

The Cougs came back from yet another big deficit to beat Saint Joseph's in their opener in the tournament. Three-point shooting fueled the comeback, as WSU made nearly 50 percent of its 33 threes, and it will be fascinating to see how committed WSU is to that part of its attack today: The Gaels specialize in limiting opponents' three-point opportunities — only 23 teams in the country allow a lower ratio of threes to overall field goal attempts — and they close out very well, as opponents shoot just 25 percent from behind the arc against Saint Mary's.
