Update: Washington State had only six Pac-10 wins last season, but two came against USC. The Cougars average 77.3 points per game, nearly half of which (38.9) comes from junior guards Klay Thompson and Faisal Aden. Both teams are coming off losses. USC missed 16 of 21 three-point shots against Washington’s zone defense Wednesday and will probably face a zone again from the Cougars.
