Cougars return home searching for first win of the season

Washington State returns to Beasley Coliseum on Saturday morning, looking to secure its first win of the season after falling to Duquesne 72-71 on Tuesday. The Cougars enter the matchup 0-3 for the first time since the 1964-65 season and will look to avoid their fourth consecutive loss to open the year. WSU could be without junior Ronnie Harrison, who left Tuesday’s game late after appearing to aggravate the ankle injury that kept him sidelined for the first two games. Harrison made his Cougar debut against Duquesne, finishing with 6 points, five rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes. While Harrison’s potential absence would leave a hole in the lineup, players such as Lazerek Houston and Jaylen Harrell have stepped up offensively through the first three games. Houston scored 31 points against High Point, while Harrell led WSU with 19 points against Duquesne after being named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.
