 PULLMAN, Wash (AP) - The Washington State Cougars put a fittingly fantastic finish on their best regular season in more than 60 years. Aron Baynes scored a career-high 25 points and No. 13 Washington State edged No. 23 Southern California 88-86 in two overtimes to wrap up second place in the Pac-10 and the second seed in next week's conference tournament.
The emotional matchup in front of a sellout crowd dropped Southern Cal into third place.
"We were playing for sole possession of second place," said first-year WSU coach Tony Bennett, who got into a shouting match in overtime with Southern Cal coach Tim Floyd. "That means something to this program."
