Sad Day For WSU Cougars

In the Pac-1o opener, the Washington State Cougars played against their in-state rivals University of Washington Huskies. Predicted to win by 3 points, the Cougars ended up falling behind by 20 as the Huskies outscored them 22 to 7 in the last run of the game. The Cougars are now 8-5 in non-conference play and fall to 0-1 in the Pac-10. 

I was really hoping the Cougars could pull off a victory and start their winning streak in the Pac-10. They have two more games in Pullman, Washington- playing California on Thursday and Stanford on Saturday. Hopefully those games will go better. 

Here is what Head Coach Tony Bennett had to say about the game, according to the press release found here. 

“Whether it’s at the end of the game or the start of the second half, when those bad stretches come, it’s kind of like when it rains it pours. A lot of things go wrong, it isn’t just a quick shot or a missed shot or a turnover, offensive rebounds. That’s tough that we’re not capable of sometimes withstanding those kinds of runs when teams put them against us. That’s hard, that was frustrating.”

Let’s hope the Cougars can come out on top in the next two games. 

As always, Go Cougs!
