Washington State Cougars Set to Battle Detroit Mercy Titans at Beasley Coliseum

As the Washington State Cougars prepare to host the Detroit Mercy Titans at Beasley Coliseum, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Cougars have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last three outings, with an impressive victory followed by two challenging defeats.

In their most recent win against Eastern Washington Eagles, the Cougars dominated with 82 points, showcasing a strong offensive display with a field goal percentage of 48 and an equally impressive three-point percentage of 50. Their ability to convert from beyond the arc was matched by their defensive prowess, limiting turnovers to six while forcing fifteen points off turnovers.

However, this momentum did not carry over into their subsequent games. Against Prairie View A&M Panthers and Boise State Broncos, the Cougars struggled to maintain consistency. They scored only 59 and 61 points respectively in these contests. Their shooting efficiency dipped considerably against Prairie View A&M with field goals at just 32 percent and two-point attempts falling at only 30 percent.

The team's rebounding has been one positive constant; they pulled down an average of around 37 rebounds across these matches. Yet turnovers have been problematic; they averaged about double-digit turnovers in each game which may be an area for concern heading into the match against Detroit Mercy.

The upcoming game promises to be intriguing as Washington State looks to capitalize on its home-court advantage at Beasley Coliseum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes the home team.

Fans eager to support the Washington State Cougars can catch them in action on November 25th at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman, WA. The game is scheduled for tip-off at 21:00 local time and will be broadcasted on Pac-12 Network.
