A brief basketball interlude

Tomorrow the Pac-12 will hold its annual men’s basketball media day. Unfortunately, I’m in transit now so we won’t have any more football practice reports this week. We’ll replace them, however, with the start of our coverage of Ernie Kent and the Cougars basketball team, which will ramp up as the season approaches.

We’ll still hold our weekly WSU football live chat today on the blog at 11 a.m. Until then we have links, which are after the jump.
