RECORD: 9-7 overall, 1-3 Pac-12

COMING UP: Sunday at Washington, 4 p.m. (Root)

OUTLOOK: The Cougars posted two fairly dominant wins over the Huskies in the regular season last year before Washington claimed a win in the conference tournament. But neither team will look the same when they renew the rivalry at Hec Edmundson Pavilion this weekend. Klay Thompson and DeAngelo Casto, both departed, were instrumental in last season’s WSU wins. And key cogs Isaiah Thomas and Matthew Bryan-Amaning are no longer Huskies. WSU will have to contend with freshman point guard Tony Wroten, a flashy offensive player who scores well but also struggles with overaggressiveness and poor free-throw shooting.

    I was going to give you an opportunity to do unbiased reporting and not show your doggie slant, but c’mon already.
    You utilize the term “fairly” to modify dominant despite the fact that the Cougs were up by 15 with 2 mins to go at UW last year. But in the next breath you fail to mention that the doggies’ win was in OT. You then had a Q&A with Coach Bone asking his thoughts about how WSU is becoming more competitive recently in the series, despite the fact that not only has WSU been competitive with UW (9 wins, 5 losses), but in some of the wins has blown the doors off UW. Why not ask, can you explain why has the series completely flipped on its head over these last 5-7 years in favor of WSU?
    You then write an article during AC bball week about how Seattle area athletes have hated to come to Pullman.
    Simply wow. Have you already forgotten your readership base?
