He then took a seat on the bench for the rest of the . . . season. With a broken foot.
The 25th-ranked Bears were 10-4 in the conference and fresh off a win at Washington when they arrived in Pullman to face Washington State on Feb. 22.

His season was over, save for the two free throws he made to tie the score, giving him 48 points in just 25 minutes.
