Last year in the NCAA Tournament Jacob Pullen showed that he was one of the best guards in the nation and the Wildcats showed signs of potential. Even though in their one loss he was shut down by his opponents, he has continued to play well this season.

In order to figure out how to hold Pullen, the Cougars will need to take plenty of time to watch the game film of the Wildcats’ loss. The Wildcats are almost impossible to defeat when Pullen is playing at a high level.

This weekend the Cougars will likely be 5-0 by the time they play the Wildcats as they have started off the season hot. Shooting efficiency of the Cougars is the key to their success. By shooting just under 54 percent on the season, the team has the 4th best field goal percentage in the nation. In comparison to the Wildcats this is 7 percentage points higher.

Shooting well against the Wildcats will be important for the Cougars as on the boards Kansas State is a much better team in comparison to Washington State. The Cougars will have a hard time keeping up with Kansas State If they don’t come out hot.
