Playing confidently in one of college basketball’s toughest road arenas, Washington State ended No. 5 Arizona’s 28-game home winning streak with a 74-61 victory on Saturday.
The roars from Washington State’s locker room echoed through a hallway underneath the stands at McKale Center.
Mouhamed Gueye led Washington State’s inside game with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Jabe Mullins , Justin Powell and DJ Rodman keyed a 12-for-28 day from the 3-point arc. The Wildcats struggled offensively for the third straight game, shooting 32% and 4 for 25 from the 3-point arc. Arizona had its fewest halftime points in two seasons under coach Tommy Lloyd and ran out of gas after a late 12-2 run cut the Cougars’ lead to five."Today had a chance to be a special day at McKale and it was for Washington State," Lloyd said.
Bamba scored a contested layup over 7-foot-1 Oumar Ballo and then a short jumper, helping Washington State push the lead back to double digits — and Wildcats’ fans to the exits.
