Washington State called a timeout to regroup, but never closed the gap.Even though the building was empty and there wasnt a lot of energy in the building, I thought they showed great composure, Washington State coach Ernie Kent said.Each time the Cougars (3-3) began chipping away at the deficit, the Spartans answered with more buckets.Down seven, Washington State accrued five consecutive misses in one possession and grabbed three offensive boards in a row. But Clarke turned Josh Hawkinsons last miss into a 3 by Jalen James at the other end, and pushed the Spartan lead back to 10.We just lacked urgency the whole time, Washington State guard Malachi Flynn said.Welage hit a deep 3-pointer with 8:30 remaining, which lifted San Jose State up 13 points -- its largest lead was 16.Were always talking to (Welage) about defending and rebounding, Wojcik said. He has a double-double. . thats what Im most proud of. He made some big shots, its a hell of a night for him.In the early going, the teams traded leads.Hawkinson scored a quick seven points, including a corner 3-pointer, putting Washington State up 12-9, with 13:57 left in the opening half. He led WSU with 19 points and 12 boards.Weve just got to get back to playing our kind of basketball, were not there right now, Kent said. Its not Xs and Os. Its a sense of togetherness, bonding, passion -- all of those things.Flynn tied his season-high with 18 points and Ike Iroegbu had 15 for the Cougars.The Spartans beat the Cougars for the first time since 1990. Washington State had won the past five meetings.BIG PICTUREWashington State: The Cougars took their lumps in the Paradise Jam, with losses to No. 22 Creighton and Loyola-Chicago, and flopped in their first game back home.
