But Hawkinson answered on the other end and after Utah Valley missed two 3s, Callison hit two free throws with 24 seconds left for a four-point lead.I thought we were superb in the first half. The second half, it shows you how good they were because as soon as we had that slippage, they made us pay in the game, Washington State coach Ernie Kent said. Im proud of this team. In the last four or five minutes they did everything right.Washington State was led freshman guard Malachi Flynn, who scored a season-best 27 points and had seven rebounds and three assists. Kent said Flynns performance is a testament to how special he is as a player.You always dream of doing good, Flynn said. It was just trying to come out be aggressive and wait for my shots.

Its a rhythm, its a feel. Sometimes it can be elusive, Pope said. Right now, with these new guys, it kind of comes and goes on us. And as we grow we will be able to play more minutes the right way.The Wolverines have three true freshmen, and three players with only one previous season of experience. Pope said that the youth of the team also factored in to their inability to outlast the hype of the teams win over BYU last Saturday.It is hard to bury emotional games like that and as a coaching staff that is our job to help our guys do that and we didnt do that very well.Hawkinson had his 45th career double-double with 12 points and 17 rebounds to help the Cougars snap a two-game losing streak.BIG PICTUREWashington State: After falling to San Jose State on Sunday, the Cougars gained back some momentum against Utah Valley as they enter the last stretch before conference play.
