Regular Season Records: Washington State 19-13; UCLA 23-6

What to Know

The Washington State Cougars and the #13 UCLA Bruins are set to clash at 9 p.m. ET March 10 at T-Mobile Arena in the second round of the Pac-12 Conference Tournament. Washington State will be seeking to avenge the 76-56 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played February 17th.

The Cougars earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Wednesday. They came out on top against the California Golden Bears by a score of 66-59. Washington State got double-digit scores from four players: forward Efe Abogidi (19), guard Tyrell Roberts (14), guard Michael Flowers (12), and guard TJ Bamba (12).

Meanwhile, UCLA netted a 75-68 victory over the Southern California Trojans on Saturday. Among those leading the charge for UCLA was guard Jaime Jaquez Jr., who had 27 points in addition to six rebounds.

Washington State is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Arizona State Sun Devils Feb. 12 easily too and instead slipped up with a 58-55. In other words, don't count the Bruins out just yet.
