Game Recap
Washington State earned an 87–70 win over Pacific in NCAA action, pulling away over the course of 40 minutes to secure a 17-point victory. The Cougars’ offense was consistently productive, and they were able to create separation as the game progressed rather than relying on a single late surge.
Pacific stayed within striking distance early, but Washington State’s ability to string together stops and convert on the other end helped tilt the game. As the Cougars built momentum, they extended the margin and controlled the tempo, limiting Pacific’s chances to generate a sustained run.
With no verified box score details provided (top performers and team shooting/rebounding/assist totals were not included), individual statistical standouts cannot be cited accurately. Even so, the final score reflects a Washington State performance that combined efficient scoring with enough defensive resistance to keep Pacific from matching pace.
Going forward, Washington State can take confidence from an 87-point output and a comfortable margin, while Pacific will look to tighten execution—particularly on the defensive end—to avoid allowing opponents to build extended runs. Both teams can use this result as a reference point for areas to reinforce as they continue their schedules.
