    Pre-game from that place with the weird court

    COUGARS FROM EUGENE -- Arrived at Matthew Knight Arena a bit early so we could look around and shoot some video. We have that posted below, along with some additional thoughts.
  • No more sniffles on the weekend

    A GRIP ON SPORTS I can't prove it, because I'm not a computer doctor, but I'm afraid my computer-machine-thingee caught a virus over the past few days. Running hot, battery problems, slow to get moving. Yep, all the earmarks. But after a day spent reloading the system file and downloading the newest versions of my favorite software – by favorite,I mean most used; there is no value judgment here concerning anyone's products – my machine is back in fine fettle. ...
  • Links on another Pac-12 Saturday

    COUGARS FROM EUGENE -- WSU can play the role of spoiler today against the Ducks, who are still in the Pac-12 title hunt. We have some links to pass along as we preview another Saturday in the Pac-12.
  • No persuasion necessary

    EUGENE, Ore. – The television replay they watched Friday looked awfully familiar to the Washington State Cougars. It was of Oregon’s 82-57 disassembly of Washington on Thursday night, but it might as well have been the film of a similar basetball game the Ducks played on Dec. 29.

    WSU hoops notes from Eugene

    COUGARS FROM EUGENE -- Highlight of the day: eating at a Sonic Drive-In -- there's one in nearby Springfield -- for the first time. Worth it. Also, we have some basketball notes as the Cougars prepare to face Oregon tomorrow. Read on.
  • Well, got that one wrong

    A GRIP ON SPORTS OK, I'll admit it. I picked St. Mary's to win last night. When asked my choice on the Patchin, Lukens and Osso radio show (featuring Vince Grippi), I went with the Gaels. What was I thinking? Well, read on and I'll tell you.
  • Happy links, notes and quotes on the day after

    COUGARS FROM CORVALLIS -- It's just about time to head to Eugene, but first, we have our usual Friday day-after-but-also-day-between-games post with links, a Pac-12 roundup and some more quotes from last night's WSU win. Read on.
  • Cougars earn road win at Oregon State

    CORVALLIS, Ore. – They slashed, they defended, they made open shots like they were playing at Beasley. After this 83-73 blitzing of Oregon State before 5,782 at Gill Coliseum, the Washington State Cougars men’s basketball team could finally celebrate a conference road victory.

    The game that was: WSU 83, Oregon State 73

    COUGARS FROM CORVALLIS -- It'll be a happy bus ride from here to Eugene tonight, as the Cougars put together perhaps their best team effort of the season in an 83-73 win at Gill Coliseum. Read on for our game in review.
  • Pre-game from Gill Coliseum

    COUGARS FROM CORVALLIS -- We've arrived at Gill Coliseum -- one of the more unremarkable venues in the conference, yet a trip I always enjoy nonetheless -- for tonight's contest between the Cougars and Oregon State (7 p.m., no TV). As usual, we have some notes and thoughts in our pre-game post below. Read on.
  • It’s Rivalry Thursday

    A GRIP ON SPORTS Yep, it's Rivalry Thursday in Spokane. The best rivalry on the West Coast (that's your opinion, as per our poll from yesterday) is about to tipoff the second of what may be three matchups this seasons. Tonight's edition comes from the McCarthey Athletic Center, home of the loudest, rowdiest, most intimidating crowd in the West Coast Conference. ...
  • Gameday links from Corvallis

    COUGARS FROM CORVALLIS -- It was a long day of travel on Wednesday, but we're safely in Corvallis and have our usual morning post for you. Read on.
  • Cougars seek offensive help for Motum

    PULLMAN – All eyes, seemingly, are on Washington State forward Brock Motum. Or, at least, more eyes than before.
  • Coming up: Washington State men’s basketball

    RECORD: 12-11 overall, 4-7 Pac-12 COMING UP: Tonight at Oregon State, 7; Saturday at Oregon, 3 p.m.
  • Feb08

    Times change but complaining doesn’t

    A GRIP ON SPORTS For the first time in quite a while, we're suffering through a tough Internet day. It's tough to connect with sites, it's tough to tweet, it's just tough to do anything. And we know it's our problem because it's intermittent. So we're working on it while we type – and by working on it, we mean we're ignoring it for now hoping it will fix itself. ...
  • A busier Wednesday on the Palouse

    COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- There was some more news here yesterday, from C.J. Mizell's dismissal to Ken Bone's teleconference. That -- and our usual Pac-12  roundup -- after the jump.
  • Feb07

    Tuesdays with Ken Bone

    COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- As usual, we have our summary of Ken Bone's Tuesday teleconference. However, other duties kept us from listening in on his segment on the Pac-12 coaches call. Read on.
  • Take a breath; the rest of the week is better

    A GRIP ON SPORTS • UPDATED: 11:55 A.M. Today is not what you would call a compelling sports day. Really. Caught in the malaise that is post Super Bowl week, the sporting world took 24 hours to catch its breath. Sort of. Read on.
  • Feb06

    The day after the Super Bowl

    A GRIP ON SPORTS • UPDATED: 10:20 A.M. Super Bowl Sunday is usually a day of fun for the American sports fan. Gather with friends or sit with family and watch the game (and commercials). Yesterday was no different for most of you, I'm sure. And it was a game worth watching, with the Giants scoring late, Tom Brady trying to drive the Patriots down the field as time expired and a Hail Mary to end it all. ...
  • Not much to read on a Monday

    COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- There must have been some other game yesterday that required most folks' attention, because Pac-12 reading material is scant on this Monday. Oh, well. We still found a couple stories, at least, so read on.
