A GRIP ON SPORTS We've always prided ourselves on being a full-service blog station. We not only fill up your computer screen with tales from the professional, collegiate and prep worlds, but we check under the hood to give you news you can use as…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- We said the week would get busier as it progressed, and we weren't lying. More WSU reading material awaits you after the jump, should you choose to soldier on.
Idaho coach Don Verlin spoke with the media on Tuesday. I've got a summary of his thoughts below. The Vandals, 16-11, have won five straight and finish the regular season with three huge WAC games -- all on the road. Lots more after the jump.
Back with a notebook from Gonzaga's practice and media day on Tuesday. One of the biggest games of the season is approaching with BYU, which thumped Gonzaga in Provo, visiting the Bulldogs on Thursday. We checked in with coaches Dave Rose (BYU) and Mark Few…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- The basketball team has the day off, but Ken Bone still called into the Pac-12 coaches teleconference. We have a summary of that below.
...and almost everyone else in the Big Sky Conference (sorry, NAU). The Eagles get three games in six days, including two against Idaho State and one at Portland State. So where will the Eags wind up in the postseason? It's way too complicated, but if…
A GRIP ON SPORTS If I really wanted to take a day off, today would be the day. Nothing much in the way of local stories, not a lot from the local college's conference connections and very little from the professional ranks. But those are…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- It's about to be a busy week, but for now, we take a minimalist approach with our Pac-12 links. Because there aren't very many of them.
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- We have some scheduling news for you, plus a note about D.J. Shelton's citation over the weekend.
A week after dropping out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the Gonzaga University women’s basketball team returned to the poll at No. 25. The Bulldogs received 75 votes. Also announced on Monday, senior forward Kelly Bowen was named West Coast Conference Player of…
As expected, the Gonzaga men’s basketball team slipped out of the Top 25 rankings in both major polls following a 66-65 loss at San Francisco on Saturday. The Bulldogs (21-5, 11-3 WCC), No. 24 last week in A.P. and ESPN/USA Today, dropped into the others…
A GRIP ON SPORTS How do you decide whether a day is a holiday or not? Is it whether the kids are in school, because that seems to mean there are a lot more holidays than there used to be. Or is when you don't…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- This is Peter Gibbons' kind of Monday -- a holiday, a day off from school, and a day off from work. For most, anyway. There isn't much out there in terms of news, but we've put together what links we found…
SEATTLE - Spokane Chiefs goalie Mac Engel stopped 18 shots and the Chiefs ended a season-high four-game losing streak with their first shutout victory of the season – a 3-0 win over the Seattle Thunderbirds in Western Hockey League action Sunday. Dominik Uher, Collin Valcourt…
I wrote nearly all of this before 10 a.m, but tight connections kept me from posting it until now. Entertaining game last night with a closing stretch that pretty much went opposite of the first 36 minutes. Gonzaga and San Francisco weren’t any trouble scoring…
A GRIP ON SPORTS I'm not a rollercoaster guy. Mainly it has to do with heights – to say I hate them is an understatement; it's more like an irrational fear – but it also has to do with the constant up and downs. Speed…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- We have some more notes, quotes and Pac-12 links to brighten your Sunday. Read on.
Kyle Barone remained hot Saturday night, going for a career-high 25 points. And the Vandals remained hot, dispatching Portland State 77-68 to push their winning streak to five games. My game story with all the details is below, if you're interested.
After losing 3-2 on Saturday night to the U.S. Division-rival Americans in Tri-City, the Spokane Chiefs have now lost four-straight games - their longest losing streak of the season. Not ideal timing with the Western Hockey League regular season winding down. The Chiefs had a…
Senior center Robert Sacre is still the only Bulldog on the roster to experience a win at San Francisco's War Memorial Gym. Gonzaga, after overtime losses to USF the last two years, lost on Rashad Green's 7-foot shot with 3.3 seconds left, giving the Dons…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- WSU used a dominant first half to end a two-game skid, and we have our usual game in review for you below. Read on.
The Gonzaga women shook off a slow start and pushed ahead in the second half to score a 66-40 victory over Pepperdine on Saturday afternoon. You can read about the game here.
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- There's 3,700 gray t-shirts spread over many of the seats in the lower bowl, as you can see (kind of) in the above photo. We have some quick thoughts on today's game, so read on.
Less than an hour until the Gonzaga women's basketball team and Pepperdine Waves (12-12, 7-6 WCC) tip-off at the Kennel. One piece of good news, aside from the Bulldogs' 87-55 win over Santa Clara on Thursday, was last-place San Francisco's victory over BYU this week…
