Washington State Cougars dropped to 0-3 on the season with a 72-71 loss at Duquesne, undone by an ugly second-half performance. The Cougars, coached by David Riley, could not hold their lead as the Dukes rallied for a one-point victory.
The defeat came after Washington State's earlier loss to New Mexico on October 25, 2025, at Beasley Coliseum. Against Duquesne, a disastrous second half cost the Cougars a chance at their first win.
