Match Info

The Washington State Cougars held off a persistent Mercer Bears team to secure an 84-78 victory in a National Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball game on December 21, 2025. Washington State used a strong second-half performance to overcome a halftime deficit and claim a hard-fought home win. Mercer came out with great energy, executing their game plan perfectly to build a surprising lead at the break. The Cougars regrouped in the locker room and opened the second half on a 15-4 run, reclaiming the lead and shifting the momentum entirely. Washington State's interior size began to wear down Mercer, leading to second-chance points and trips to the free-throw line. Each time Mercer threatened to close the gap, the Cougars had an answer, often from their star forward who delivered a double-double. Mercer's guards kept them in the game with timely three-point shooting, but they could never quite get over the hump in the final minutes as Washington State made its free throws to seal the outcome. The win helped Washington State avoid a damaging non-conference loss, while Mercer earned respect for their competitive performance on the road. The Washington State coach credited his team's second-half adjustment, and the Mercer coach expressed pride in his team's effort.
