The Washington State Cougars put away the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Monday night, keeping their season alive and moving one step closer to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. It’s a quick turnaround for the Cougars, who will face Northwestern on Wednesday night with a trip to New York on the line. Northwestern took down No. 1 seed Boston College last weekend, but must travel to Pullman to face a Washington State team playing at a high-level in the NIT.
Washington State and Northwestern are scheduled to tip-off in the final game of the NIT regionals on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ESPN2 has the broadcasting duties again this week.
