The Cougs are ranked!
For the first time in over 300 weeks, WSU men’s basketball earned a spot in the AP Top 25 poll.
Freshman guard Myles Rice earned his fourth consecutive and seventh total Pac-12 Freshman of the Week Award and senior forward Isaac Jones earned Pac-12 Player of the Week after scoring his 1,000th career point.
The Cougs won their seventh consecutive game and are in the midst of a slew of historic streaks. Wazzu has won 10 of its last 11 games, its best run of Conference success since 1944.
The Cougs are clicking at precisely the right time and will challenge No. 4 Arizona at 8 p.m. Thursday with first place in the Pac-12 hanging in the balance. WSU beat Arizona 73-70 Jan. 13 in Pullman for its second in an active seven-game win streak.
