Loyola Marymount standout junior forward Drew Viney will not play in tonight's game against Gonzaga. Viney, who missed Saturday's game with Saint Mary's with a migraine headache, has been undergoing tests (blood work, etc.) this week and hasn't yet been cleared to play. He's in…
COUGARS An hour before game time here in Beasley and we have a few thoughts. Mainly about dinner (little doughnuts sound really good, but unavailable here), but some about the game. So read on.
COUGARS It hasn't been much of a secret another football staff change was coming at Washington State. Well, the change will be announced today, with former Lewis and Clark High and WSU player Malik Roberson out as the defensive line coach. The replacement might be…
Before I get to the women's basketball preview for the weekend, kudos to Eastern Washington senior guard Kyla Evans. Despite missing too many games with a bad back that has hampered her throughout her career, she returned Tuesday night to set the Eagles' career record…
COUGARS It's game day on the Palouse. Whether that's a Saturday in the fall or a Thursday in the winter, it's different. Anticipation does something to our systems, doesn't it? Tonight Washington State's opponent is Stanford, Saturday it's California. We have some information on both,…
Don Verlin could scarcely have picked a better time to get his first win over his mentor and former employer. The Vandals frustrated Utah State from the start and were poised at the finish of a 64-56 win over the 21st-ranked team in the nation.…
A disaster of epic proportions for the Spokane Chiefs, starting with a dubious record of allowing five goals in 1:59. With those five goals league-leading Portland sent a message on the way to a 10-5 thumping. It was the most goals allowed and the most…
Less than 10 minutes before the Idaho men face their biggest test of the season against No. 21 Utah State at Cowan Spectrum (so far there's a very small crowd on hand). You can follow along throughout the game on Twitter @SR_JoshWright. It will be…
Read on below for some more info on Gonzaga's road trip, stats and a notebook item that will run on the S-R's Four Corners page tomorrow.
A busy Tuesday night for preps. Click the tab below to read more.
COUGARS Wednesday mornings are usually pretty interesting during basketball season. Coaches talk on Tuesdays (you can read and see what Washington State coach Ken Bone had to say here), so there is always a discussion or two to hash over in Wednesday's papers. Today is…
Good evening. I talked to Loyola Marymount coach Max Good this morning, then went to GU's media day this afternoon. I put together a notebook, mainly from my conversation with the always candid Lions coach, that will run in Wednesday's S-R. There's also an item…
We were able to get the thoughts of Utah State coach Stew Morrill and Idaho coach Don Verlin in advance of tomorrow night's showdown between the two schools at Cowan Spectrum (8 p.m., ESPN2). Read on for more and also check out my story on…
More impressive than 250 wins is the philosophy of Whitworth coach Helen Higgs. She is the subject of this week's women's basketball notebook. Please take note of the Pink Zone games, wear pink to the designated game of your team and help raise awareness of…
COUGARS Ken Bone didn't have a lot of questions to answer on his media call this morning, but he had some interesting things to say, so read on.
Todd Milles of the Tacoma News Tribune wrote a story about parking issues at the Tacoma Dome. Thought state-bound wrestling and boys and girls basketball teams, along with the throngs of friends and family, should give it a read here.
COUGARS With all of football now in the side-view mirror, we can get back to basketball, as it was intended in February. Though pitchers and catchers do report soon, if that still excites anyone besides me, and college baseball practice is underway – and games…
Darren Kramer, 22, is one of the most popular Spokane Chiefs. He is also their protector. There's also another side to the Western Hockey League leader in fights and penalty minutes. The team has a big week with U.S. Division and Western Conference leading Portland…
A dirty dozen, that's how many years since the Washington State women's basketball team had five conference wins in a season. But after a home sweep of the Oregon schools the Cougars are 5-6. As a result, freshman Sage Romberg earned the Pac-10 Player of…
Here are the updated Greater Spokane League scoring leaders. Gonzaga Prep's Tia Presley is 11 points away from the all-time GSL scoring record set by Angie Bjorklund of University (1,314).
COUGARS With everyone focused on the Super Bowl yesterday, and I can think fondly of one life-long Packer fan (and that means almost 60 years) who I sincerely hope had a great day yesterday, there is little to pass along concerning Washington State in particular…
Totally remiss in my women's basketball duties ... enjoying a lovely day downtown on Saturday, especially the walk through the park but the basketball game at the Arena was less satisfying. Today, don't ask but it involved a lot of honey-do's if the Super Bowl…
Back with my day-after post following Gonzaga's 62-58 loss to Memphis on Saturday. Lots more on the game below. First, the links: S-R gamer, S-R photos, Memphis newspaper gamer. As mentioned in last night's post, ex-Zag Matt Bouldin tells his side of the story after…
COUGARS • UPDATED: 9:55 A.M. No sleeping in this morning. We're on our way to Portland to catch the flight back to Spokane, but before we go, we have some Washington State links you may want to check out. Read on.
