One key aspect that stands out for Washington State is their ability to convert opportunities into points; they scored an impressive 17 fast-break points and capitalized on turnovers by adding another 13 points. Their rebounding was also superior, grabbing a total of 39 rebounds compared to Stanford's mere 25.

Looking ahead at the match-up against Colorado Buffaloes, it's crucial for Washington State to maintain this level of play. They will need to leverage their high-scoring offense while keeping up defensive pressure if they want to come out on top again.


The venue could play a significant role in this game. Playing at T-Mobile Arena may offer some level of familiarity for Washington State as it was where they triumphed over Stanford just recently.
