Box Score LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Isaac Jones scored 16 points and No. 22 Washington State beat Stanford 79-62 in the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals on Thursday night.
The Cougars had six players score in double figures and shot 50.8% (31 for 61) from the field. Myles Rice and Jaylen Wells each scored 14, and Andrej Jakimovski had 13.
Next up for the second-seeded Cougars (24-8) is Colorado or Utah in Friday's semifinals. This is just their fourth trip to the semis and first since 2008.
Washington State has never played in the Pac-12 championship, so school history could be made with the tournament going away after this season.
Spencer Jones led the Cardinal with 22 points, and Brandon Angel had 15.
Washington State used a 13-3 run late in the first half to go ahead 37-22, and it was never seriously challenged after that. The Cardinal - who rallied from 18 points behind to beat California on Wednesday - closed to 60-46 with a 12-2 second-half spurt.
But then Cougars coach Kyle Smith called timeout, and Rice responded with a steal and flying dunk to put the momentum back in Washington State's favor.
