A combo post from WSU

COUGARS • UPDATED: 8:45 P.M.

We’re in Beasley, so we could watch the men’s 67-39 beatdown of a depleted Grambling State team and as much of the women’s game I can see while still writing. Read on.

••••••••••

• We’ll have a link to Dave Trimmer’s story on the basketball game – Dave was here to watch the women’s game and volunteered to cover for me tonight as I write the Mike Leach stories – a bit later. UPDATE: Here is Dave’s story . … It wasn’t much of a contest, as Grambling had just seven players and didn’t put up much of a fight. Brock Motum had a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds), Faisal Aden, who missed a bunch of shots in a row and was just 5 of 16 from the floor, finished with 12 points. … We’ll have more on that in the morning. … As for the Leach news, we tried to keep everyone informed today on Twitter and on this site, but it got a bit overwhelming. Anyhow, we have our story , which lays out how this came to pass over the past two weeks, and the reaction to the news from a trio of WSU players. … You can read WSU’s official release on its website here.

UPDATE: Here’s is John Blanchette’s column on Leach’s hire.

• That’s all for now. We’ll be back in the morning, with the hope things will settle down. Until then …
