Iroegbu leads WSU to a 86-71 win over Arizona State
(AP) — After its home loss to No. 5 Arizona on Thursday, Washington State coach Ernie Kent called out his seniors, and vocalized the team's need for better leadership.
Ike Iroegbu finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to help Washington State overcome an early deficit and win.
Conor Clifford had 19 points, Malachi Flynn 14 points and seven assists, and Hawkinson 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Cougars, who nabbed their first season sweep of a conference opponent since 2011-12.
After Andre Adams finished a baseline dunk, Clifford threw away the inbounds pass to Evans who immediately hit a corner 3 to cap the run.
MILESTONE
Besides being a school record, Hawkinson's 54th double-double is also the highest active total in Division I. He tied the WSU record held by Steve Puidokas (1974-77) last week against Utah.
