WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS NEWS

Mouhamed Gueye - Nursing hamstring issue Head coach Kyle Smith said that Gueye played through a hamstring injury during Sunday's 58-55 loss to Colorado, Colton Clark of The Spokeman-Review reports.

Impact For someone who averaged 13.9 points per game coming into Sunday's matchup versus the Buffaloes, there had to have been some sort of reasonable explanation behind the scoreless effort that Gueye posted this past weekend. It's since been revealed that the 6-foot-11 sophomore is tending to a hamstring concern, ultimately putting his availability for Thursday's contest against Arizona in jeopardy. Should Gueye eventually miss any time, Andrej Jakimovski, D.J. Rodman and Adrame Diongue would all be in line for additional minutes.
