Washington State Cougars Set to Battle Eastern Washington Eagles at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena

As the Washington State Cougars prepare to face off against the Eastern Washington Eagles at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, fans can anticipate an engaging matchup. The Cougars have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, which should make for an unpredictable game.

In their last three games, the Cougars' performance has been varied. They secured a convincing win over Texas State Bobcats with a score of 83 points, showcasing their offensive prowess by shooting 53 percent from the field and an impressive 45 percent from beyond the arc. Their ability to convert on second-chance points and capitalize on turnovers was evident as they scored 17 points off turnovers.

However, this high was followed by two losses where they struggled with consistency. Against Boise State Broncos and Prairie View A&M Panthers, they scored 61 and 59 points respectively but were unable to secure victories. In these games, their field goal percentage dipped below 35 percent – a stark contrast to their performance against Texas State.

Rebounding has been one of their stronger suits; in all three games combined, they averaged around 37 rebounds per game. Yet turnovers seem to be an area of concern as they averaged about 14 per game across these matches.

The venue may play a significant role in this upcoming contest. Playing away from home could challenge the Cougars' ability to maintain composure under pressure from Eastern Washington's supporters at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.

Fans can catch this intriguing encounter live on Pac-12 Network or attend in person on November 22nd at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena where both teams will look to assert dominance early in the season. Will Washington State bounce back from its recent setbacks? Or will Eastern Washington capitalize on playing at home? Only time will tell as we await tip-off.
