From Pullman -- Well, at least the Seahawks won. It's small consolation on a day that the Washington State women's basketball team suffered its first conference loss, falling in the final seconds to Utah. Even worse, it was the Utes' first Pac-12 win. Still, it's…

From Pullman -- First reported by Cougfan.com and since confirmed by other recruiting services, former Texas A&M receiver Sebastian LaRue is set to transfer to Washington State. This comes just two days after the news that WSU receiver Bobby Ratliff won't be returning for his…

A GRIP ON SPORTS Can you believe it? It's finally here. No, not Christmas. That flew by last month with hardly a ripple in our household. I'm talking about today's NFC Championship. Heck, I think we bought more foodstuffs for this afternoon than we purchased…

Teams are supposed to have a big advantage at home, but that hadn't been the case for Idaho at Cowan Spectrum. In five games before tonight -- three played without students in Moscow -- the Vandals had lost five times. Yep, 0-5. But they made…

Good evening from Los Angeles. Haven't seen a cloud in three days but I did witness two interesting basketball games. GU worked over Pepperdine on Thursday, but Saturday wasn't as easy against a short-handed Loyola Marymount squad. The Zags had to work from start to…

A GRIP ON SPORTS It hit me this morning as I was reading the 73rd story of the day on the Seahawks/49ers game. All this hype. And it's just the NFC Championship game. Not the Super Bowl. The NFC Championship. A semifinal if you will.…

After six losses in their last seven games -- four of them to conference opponents -- the Idaho Vandals find themselves in last place in the WAC heading into tonight's tilt with Cal State Bakersfield (7 p.m., Cowan Spectrum). Idaho is 7-12 and 1-4 in…

From Berkeley -- Sometimes a loss serves as a big enough wakeup call. Sometimes an extra intense practice full of shouting and punitive conditioning isn't the best motivational tool at a coach's disposal. Washington State's men's basketball coaches are subscribing to that philosophy, and had…

It wasn’t too long ago that Gonzaga’s offense was drawing national attention (from ESPN's Jay Bilas and others) and ranked highly in several statistical categories. That hasn't changed, but the offense has taken a backseat to the defense, which has emerged as the main reason…

From Berkley -- Though the Cougars rested, it was elsewhere an eventful day in Pac-12 hoops. Colorado's struggled to deal with its recent rash of injuries in a 69-56 loss to UCLA ... Utah's offense returned to form in an 84-66 win over USC ...…

This one looked a lot more like Gonzaga's four-game home stand than Gonzaga's lackluster performance at Portland. The Bulldogs rebounded from last week's loss to Portland by blowing out Pepperdine 70-53 on Thursday. Sam Dower Jr. led the way with 18 points and 8 rebounds,…

From Palo Alto -- Que Johnson tied his career high with 21 points last night, and has scored 14 or more points in five of WSU's last seven games. Royce Woolridge also had a strong first half. Thus ends the good news following Washington State's…
