WSU 69, Northwestern 66 (OT) In NIT

Washington State guard Klay Thompson, left, controls a rebound from teammate DeAngelo Casto during the first half against Northwestern in a college basketball game in the quarterfinals of the NIT tonight in Pullman. Thompson and Casto, who’ve both had brushes with the law on pot charges this month, led the Cougars to a 69-66 overtime win over Northwestern in the quarterfinals of the NIT. The victory earns the Cougs a trip to the final four in the NIT at Madison Square Garden in New York. They’ll face Wichita State in a semi-final game. ESPN boxscore here. (AP Photo/Dean Hare)
