Washington State University is preparing to face Oregon State in the opener of the NCAA Eugene Regional on Friday, a feat the program has not achieved in over a decade and a half. The Cougars are embracing an underdog mentality as they head into the tournament fresh off a Mountain West Tournament championship victory.
The team secured its regional spot after a successful run in Mesa, Arizona. On Sunday morning, the Cougars piled into a room at their hotel in Mesa, where they had just topped San Jose State in the conference tournament title game. The atmosphere was one of anticipation as they awaited the selection show results following their championship win.
Despite the magnitude of clinching the program's first NCAA Regional appearance in 16 years, the reception upon returning to Pullman was muted. According to reports, the team "didn't exactly arrive back in town to the red carpet." This lack of fanfare has not dampened the team's spirit; rather, the Cougars appear ready to carry the momentum from their conference tournament success into Eugene.
The upcoming game against Oregon State represents the next step for a Washington State squad that has already exceeded recent expectations. By securing the Mountain West crown, the team broke a long postseason drought and now looks to advance further in the NCAA tournament bracket.
