COUGARSDespite Klay Thompson being held in check and despite struggling from the line, WSU was able to grind out a 65-60 win over Oregon State on Saturday afternoon. Thompson scored a season-low seven points, but Marcus Capers (10 points, 10 rebounds), Reggie Moore (19 points)…
COUGARSIf the score is familiar, how it got to be that way certainly isn't. Washington State held Oregon State to 24 first-half points on 26 percent shooting playing mainly, now sit down before you read this, 2-3 zone. Yes, zone. The Cougars probably played more…
Gonzaga doesn't play another basketball game until next Saturday when it visits Portland. It'll be a nice break from the three-games-in-six-days stretch the Bulldogs just completed. GU went 3-0 in that stretch, capped by a thrilling 85-83 win over Illinois on Saturday.Read on for more.
COUGARS Can the second game of the Pac-10 schedule really be a must win? Maybe not, but this one comes about as close as a possible to that. Read on for our pregame thoughts.

COUGARS Good morning. I hope your hangover from New Year's Eve has passed, and by that I don't mean the kind many people get from over-imbibing, but the one from the Oregon game. After all, that's the past. And in the Pac-10, if you get…

COUGARS Attended practice today to watch the Cougars get ready for Oregon State. Much of the conversation, as you might guess, centered round the end of the first overtime last night. It's part of my story for tomorrow, the unedited version of which is on…

I stayed awake long enough to welcome in the new year, thanks to a viewing of the GU-OU replay and my kids' Rock Band party in the basement. The Zags were in tune with perhaps their most complete performance since waxing Wisconsin in the Maui…
