PULLMAN, Wash. – Portland's short bench couldn't overcome a hot-shooting Washington State team in a 104-74 West Coast Conference loss Saturday afternoon at Beasley Coliseum.
The Pilots (10-14, 3-8 WCC) dressed just eight scholarship players on the heels of a rash of recent injuries and illness. Freshman point guard Joel Foxwell scored a team-high 21 points.
Eemeli Yalaho led five Cougars (11-13, 6-5) in double figures with 26 points and nine rebounds.
WSU shot 55 percent from the field including 16-of-31 from three-point range. The Pilots finished at 43 percent overall and 5-for-19 from beyond the arc.
