PULLMAN, Wash. -- New Orleans last win over a Pac-12 opponent dates back to 1998.

My biggest concern was being prepared ... and they had good counters from start to finish . Im humbled at how hard these guys play,Christavious Gill scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Travin Thibodeaux added 16 points and Tevin Boyle finished with 10 points and six assists for the Privateers (4-3).Washington State (4-4) hung around in the second half, but New Orleans kept its lead hovering around 10 throughout most of the period and had a late 10-2 run to pull away to an 18-point lead in the final minute.With little success weve had I dont think we handled it well, Washington State coach Ernie Kent said. I just thought the start of game, if the ball doesnt go down, that really determines what type of energy we play with the rest of the way. I didnt feel like we had a sense of urgency or energy.New Orleans dominated Washington State on the glass 36-20.Robert Franks led the Cougars in scoring with a career-high 16 points off the bench.Gills early 3 helped New Orleans to a 7-2 lead.

Ike Iroegbus seven first-half points helped cut the New Orleans lead to four at the half.BIG PICTURENew Orleans: New OOrleans managed a big road win over a Pac-12 opponent to pull its record over .dddddddddddd00. The win was the first against a Pac-12 team since 1998.Washington State: Home losses to San Jose State and New Orleans do not look favorable as WSU dropped to .500 on the season. The Cougars lost their second home game against a mid-major opponent in the span of a week and lost any momentum it gripped after beating Utah Valley. Picked to be the Pac-12s last place finisher, WSU is doing little to convince anyone otherwise.LOW ATTENDANCEKent acknowledged the lack of energy the Cougars put forth may in part be a product of the continual small home crowds. The official box score listed 2,617 fans in attendance at Beasley Coliseum Saturday, which is a fraction of the 11,671 venue capacity.I dont know if (low attendance) is psyching (the players) out, but its just hard game-in and game-out to rely on bringing energy yourself, Kent said. Sometimes youre going to come into the game and youre not going to have your legs, youre going to be a little worn down and (the crowd) is where you usually get that juice from your crowd, but I just cant blame it just on the crowd.UP NEXTNew Orleans: The Privateers next game is at Northwestern on Dec. 11 before they return home to face Louisiana-Lafayette on Dec. 17.Washington State: With four games left in the nonconference schedule, one remains in the Cougars current four-game home stand, a Wednesday matchup with out-of-state neighbor Idaho.
