GAME INFORMATION - VS COLORADO
The Cougars close out the weekend with a contest against Colorado Sunday at Beasley. The Cougs and the Buffs have had a heated rivalry over the last few seasons with epic battles in Pullman, Boulder, and at the Pac-12 Tournament in Seattle. All-time WSU leads the series 9-6 including going 6-1 at home at Beasley. Last season the two split the season series with each taking care of their home courts. In Boulder, the Cougs hit a last second three that would have tied the game and sent it to overtime only to have it waved off as just after time expired.
At home it was the Bobi Buckets show as Hristova returned from injury to score a then career high 36 points on 71.4% Shooting.
Both the Cougs and the Buffs enter the game needing a win as WSU has dropped its last three games while Colorado has dropped four-straight. The Buffs went 10-1 in non-conference before suffering losses in all four Pac-12 contests this season.

LAST TIME OUT
Falling behind by as much as 21 points in the second quarter, Washington State mounted another massive rally in the second half against Utah only to come up just short of completing the comeback as the Utes escaped Pullman, 72-68, Friday night in Beasley Coliseum. The Cougars would take the lead with four minutes left in the game but went cold from the floor to close the contest. The final nail for the Cougs came with just :16 seconds to play and down three when a game-saving three-pointer by Chanelle Molina rimmed out and a loose ball foul on the rebound earned Utah what amounted to be a game-icing free throw.

ALEXYSTHREE-DLUND - THE ALL-TIME 3-PT QUEEN HITS HER 200TH 3
Already the single-season three-point queen with 75 as a sophomore, senior Alexys Swedlund became the programs career record holder on Sunday, Nov. 11, when the sharp-shooter hit her 162nd career three-pointer. The record three was her fifth of the game and pushed the senior passed Katie (Appleton) Bohnoff (2005-09) in the Cougar annuals.  
Every game Swedlund extends her record entering the week with 200,. She hit her 200th three against Utah Friday, Jan. 11. She has posted 43 on the year (50 gets her again into the top-10). She hit a career-high seven three-pointers against Wichita State to close nonconference play, a mark which ranked tied for No. 2 in single game WSU history.
She is currently shooting 45.3% (43-of-95) from deep, the second-best percentage from deep in WSU single-season history. Her 2.87 3PT per game ranks 3rd in the Pac-12.
