As the Washington State Cougars prepare to host their rivals, the Washington Huskies, at Beasley Coliseum, fans are bracing for an intense matchup. The Cougars have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, which could make predicting the outcome of this game a challenging task.

In their last three games, the Cougars have displayed both resilience and areas needing improvement. Against Arizona State Sun Devils, they fell short with 61 points against the Sun Devils' 73. Despite a solid two-point field goal percentage of 49 percent and dominating points in the paint with 42, turnovers and a low three-point percentage (17 percent) hindered their performance.

However, they bounced back against Arizona Wildcats with an impressive win scoring 77 points to Arizona's 74. Their free-throw accuracy was commendable at 79 percent and they managed to maintain a positive assist-turnover ratio (1.63). This victory showcased their ability to close out tight games.

Against Stanford Cardinal at home, they secured another win with 72 points over Stanford's 59. The team excelled from beyond the arc hitting 39 percent of threes and showed defensive prowess by blocking five shots and making eight steals.

The upcoming game promises to be electrifying as both teams vie for bragging rights. The Cougars will need to capitalize on their home-court advantage at Beasley Coliseum where fan support can be pivotal. Maintaining composure on defense while improving ball movement for high-percentage shots will be key factors if they wish to continue their winning ways.
