The maroon Cougars were picked sixth in the Pac-12 by the coaches this year and were voted 26th in the nation in the first NSCAA poll. Washington State returns to Provo for the first time in four years after BYU won 3-1 in the last matchup. The Cougars will face TCU in Pullman, Washington, on Friday, Aug. 22 before traveling for Monday's game.
