Arizona State At WSU

Sat., March 2, 1996

Tipoff: The Cougars (14-10, 6-9 in the Pacific-10 Conference) close out their regular-season home schedule against the Sun Devils (10-14 and 5-10). Tipoff is 3 p.m. at Friel Court.

At a glance: It’s the final home game of the season for WSU, which will say good-bye to seniors Mark Hendrickson, Shamon Antrum and Ryan Topper during pregame introductions. The Cougars will need much better production from Antrum and his other two starting guards than he received in Thursday night’s 72-62 loss to Arizona. Antrum, Isaac Fontaine and Donminic Ellison were a combined 9 of 36 against the Wildcats. ASU is coming off a 75-64 loss at Washington and is in position to roll over and play out its disappointing season. But if the Sun Devils can get it cranked up from outside, they can play with anyone. WSU needs to keep a hand in the faces of Ron Riley and Jeremy Veal on the perimeter.

Key players - Arizona State: Riley 20.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg; Veal 19.3 ppg, 3.9 apg. WSU: Fontaine 17.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg; Hendrickson 16.1 ppg, 9.3 rpg; Ellison 11.4 ppg, 5.3 apg.

TV/Radio: No live TV; KXLY (920 AM) Spokane and other stations on Cougar network, with Bud Nameck, 2:30 p.m.
