Robert Franks leads the team in scoring and rebounding in his return from a hip injury. The Washington State Cougars got a lift from two “returns” on Thursday night, as they walloped the hapless California Golden Bears, 82-59, to break a six-game skid and pick up their first Pac-12 win. WSU (8-9 overall, 1-3 Pac-12) played at Beasley Coliseum for the first time in nearly a month, but probably more importantly, Robert Franks hit the floor for the first time in four games. The Cougs’ best player didn’t disappoint: He scored 24 points on 18 shots and also grabbed 8 rebounds, showing practically no effects of the hip contusion that kept him out for weeks and ensuring that WSU won’t go winless in the Pac-12. Cal (5-12, 0-5) provided some resistance for most of the first half; the Cougs built a 10-point lead just eight minutes into the game, but the Golden Bears fought back to eventually take a three-point lead with five minutes to go in the first half. It was all WSU from there, though: Ahmed Ali erased the margi

The Cougars might win this one! You probably are aware that the Washington State Cougars have gotten off to a horrible start in Pac-12 play — they’ve been outscored by an average of 23 points in their three games — but you might not be aware that tonight’s opponent is in roughly the same spot: The California Golden Bears are 0-4 in league and their best result is a nine-point loss to the USC Trojans. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Beasley Coliseum, with the game to be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks. You can also stream it via your favorite device at Pac-12.com or through the Pac-12 Now app. It’s not overly dramatic to say this is WSU’s best chance for a win for the rest of the season. Kenpom.com rates the Cougs as a five-point favorite, and it’s the only game for the remainder of the year in which WSU is favored to win. The biggest thing for WSU is that Robert Franks is supposed to play. His absence has been referenced repeatedly as a major reason for the current skid, and while I’m not sure his presence

Midway through the third quarter Friday night as Iowa State battled Washington State in the Valero Alamo Bowl, Cyclones receiver Hakeem Butler made everyone stop and say, “whoa.” The dynamic receiver broke loose in the middle of the field when Brock Purdy unleashed a throw that really should have been way too high to haul in. That’s when Butler rose up and made a ridiculous one-handed catch. #SCtop10pic.twitter.com/MePyaC4oIt — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) December 29, 2018 Here’s a still at the high point, for emphasis. Amazing. Fans who’ve been keeping a close eye on Butler know this isn’t all that shocking, however, as he’s made the ridiculous look ridiculously easy all year long. Despite taking a big shot to the groin in the first half and another awkward-looking hit to the legs in the third quarter, Butler continues to shine in this game. That catch was his eighth of the game for a total of 186 yards.

Iowa State is having a hard time with the targeting rule against Washington State in the Alamo Bowl, and head coach Matt Campbell is losing his mind. Linebacker Willie Harvey had already been ejected for a late, dirty helmet-to-helmet hit against Gardner Minshew. Then, just a short while later, his teammate Eyioma Uwazurike struck Minshew on the side of the helmet with the crown of his own helmet. He, too, was ejected after review for targeting. Campbell well and truly lost his cool for a moment, earning an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for berating the officials. Yeah, he wasn’t a happy camper. Just a few plays later, Washington State scored its third touchdown of the game when Minshew hit Dezmon Patmon for his second touchdown pass, and third touchdown overall, in this game.

Just a few plays after he shrugged off a nasty targeting hit, Washington State Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew responded with a captivating touchdown run to cap off an incredible drive. On second down inside the 10-yard line, Minshew stood in the pocket with no one to throw to and pressure closing in quickly. The senior spun out of the blitz, turned the corner, saw the open space then dove into the end zone to give the Cougars a 14-0 lead. pic.twitter.com/BIDvkNYY6G — ESPN CollegeFootball (@ESPNCFB) December 29, 2018 There is just no quarterback in college football quite like Minshew. He dresses like no other, warms up shirtless in the snow and rocks the best mustache in sports. Just add this to the extraordinary highlight reel from Minshew’s 2018 season. While it’s unfortunate it will soon be coming to an end, at least we’ll get to see him in the Senior Bowl.

Iowa State linebacker Willie Harvey ended his collegiate career on a sour note when he was ejected in the Valero Alamo Bowl for a vicious hit on Gardner Minshew. Minshew was on his way down when Harvey laid him out with a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit. Thankfully Minshew shrugged this off. It could have been bad. It took no time at all for the refs officiating this game to toss Harvey for targeting. As bad as this one looked, however, it paled in comparison to another targeting call we witnessed earlier on Friday.

Marcus Strong made a tremendous play in the first quarter of the Valero Alamo Bowl when he picked off Brock Purdy and took it all the way back for six points. The Washington State cornerback did everything right on the play. He diagnosed the route, jumped it, made the catch and then outran everyone to the end zone. Unfortunately for him, the NCAA cannot stand anyone having any fun on big plays, and Strong was hit with a taunting penalty for looking back at his would-be pursuers (watch here). The penalty wiped Strong’s pick-six off the board, and his coaches gave him a bit of a scolding on the sideline afterward. One person who absolutely loved what Strong did, however, was none other than Deion Sanders, who made the look-back move so popular back in the day. He sent Strong a shout-out on Twitter after the play. No doubt, this will make Strong’s day. Of course, it also helps that Wazzu ended up scoring off the turnover anyway when Gardner Minshew hit Renard Bell on a 22-yard touchdown pass a few plays later.

File this one under ridiculous rules. Washington State cornerback Marcus Strong lost a touchdown on a pick-six due to taunting during Friday night’s Alamo Bowl game against Iowa State. The junior cornerback intercepted a third-down pass by the Cyclones in the first quarter. He returned it for a touchdown, but not before doing some taunting. Rather than getting credit for the touchdown, Strong was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Cougars ended up with the ball at the 20 for first and goal, but they ended up scoring anyway.
12/28/2018 Yardbarker Washington State
Marcus Strong did everything right. He read the play, jumped the route and picked off Brock Purdy with nothing but green grass in front of him. Then he committed a big NCAA no-no, doing his best Deion Sanders impersonation by looking back at Iowa State players as they pursued him. The refs hit him with a taunting penalty, which ended up wiping a touchdown off the board because he did it while still in the field of play. If there’s one thing the NCAA cannot tolerate (aside from players making any money at all off their efforts), it’s players having fun at the expense of anyone else. Thankfully for Strong, fashion icon Gardner Minshew and receiver Renard Bell made up for the mistake a few plays later on a touchdown pass.
