LAST TIME OUT
In one of its most complete offensive efforts in program history, WSU ran away with a 95-71 win over Boise State last week at Beasley Coliseum. From the opening tip the Cougars broke the Broncos, scoring the first nine points of the contest and 17 of the first 20 to open up a double-digit advantage. Burying BSU with an avalanche of three-pointers, the Cougars hit five of their first six from deep in the first quarter while shooting a scorching 75% from the floor to start the game. After the Broncs made a small run to start the second quarter cutting the WSU lead to nine, the Cougars responded with the knockout blow, rolling off a 20-0 run that put BSU away for good.
In all, WSU hit 13 threes, tied for fourth most all-time, while dishing out 26 assists, fourth-most in a single game.

COUGS SET A RECORD WITH BACK-TO-BACK 90-POINT PERFORMANCES
In a first for WSU basketball, the Cougs put together two of their most complete offensive performances against San Francisco and Boise State, scoring 90+ points in back-to-back games for the first time in program history. The two performances were bolstered by huge first halves as WSU scored 61 points against USF and followed with 56 points against Boise State.
The 61 points were the third-most all-time in a single half while the 34 points scored in the second quarter against USF was a quarter record or WSU. Against Boise State, the Cougs 95 points tied for the 10th most in a single game for the Cougs and the most since a 107 point effort against Oregon March 6, 2014 in the Pac-12 Tournament.
