Washington State hosts the Colorado Buffaloes at 6 p.m. in Beasley Coliseum.

The Pac-12 Network will televise the game and you can find the radio broadcast online by going to www.tunein.com/wsu.

Both Colorado and Washington State are hoping to come away with a split this weekend after dropping their weekday games. The Cougars have already taken advantage of one team that had to cross the mountains after taking on Washington, UCLA, and came away with a victory in that game.

Ernie Kent praised the student section after the loss to Utah. We'll see whether or not the kids come out a second time, despite the loss.
