Morning links: Cougars head to unfriendly confines

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. Washington State will try to beat UCLA in Los Angeles. History won't side with the Cougars in this one.

WSU has beaten the Bruins on their turf just twice in its history but, hey, there's got to be a third time for everything, right? We've got a preview of the game in the paper today.

And on the blog yesterday we recapped a fun interview Mike Leach had with 710 ESPN Seattle.

Here's what happened on the court yesterday:

-- As SWPullman points out below, Tia Presley went out in style with 28 points and a Senior Night win.

-- Washington's free fall in the standings, and on the bench, continued in a blowout at USC.

-- Utah made a great game of it but fell to Arizona, who will assuredly be this year's Pac-12 champion and maybe a No. 1 seed.
