Eastern will have some extra motivation tonight in Pullman.
Tonight, Washington State MBB will host Eastern Washington, the school that Cougars head coach David Riley left to take the job in Pullman this offseason, bringing a host of players with him. There will certainly be extra motivation for the Eagles tonight as they attempt to take down the Cougars on the road, but considering the talent differential, it's unlikely that Eastern is able to pull the upset. The game will tip at 7:30 PM PST on the CBS Sports App.
The Eagles are 1-3 on the season, with losses to Colorado , Missouri , and Cal Poly . Their lone win of the season came against Seattle U, and Washington State will be one of their toughest tests of the season so far, if not the toughest considering Colorado's and Missouri's struggles. The Cougars are 11.
The Cougars' goal should be to limit dribble penetration and keep Cook out of the paint, as his scoring prowess has been the driving force in the Eagles' offense in 2024. Considering all three of Eastern's leading scorers are guards, the focus should be on the back court, giving Washington State's perimeter players an opportunity to demonstrate some two-way versatility.
While the Eagles will be fired up for the game, the Cougars simply have a better roster at this point, and should handle business at home.Keenan Womack is a sportswriter native to Dallas, Texas, who has spent the last 12 years in Austin, the home of his alma mater, the University of Texas.
