PULLMAN – Washington State basketball coach Ken Bone was trying his best to criticize Cougars post players Brock Motum and Charlie Enquist, and he was doing a darn poor job of it.
New Washington State coach Mike Leach’s drawn-out search for a defensive coordinator concluded over the weekend with the hiring of veteran defensive coordinator Mike Breske.
The Pacific-12 Conference released its 2012 football schedule Wednesday, and the first thing that jumped out at me was: What took those snoozing loafs in Larry Scott’s office so long?
Ken Bone is a reasonable man. He understands that Pacific-12 Conference basketball teams play 18 league games, so starting 0-1 is no cause for panic.
SPOKANE – The Washington State Cougars, who put together a six-game winning streak after their first embarrassing loss, get a shot at redemption when they take on Oregon State today at Spokane Arena.
SPOKANE – The Spokane market is vital to Washington State athletics, and the Cougars say they’re determined to revive interest in WSU sports in Eastern Washington’s largest city.
The Washington State Cougars aren’t always a lot of fun to watch, but they’re usually not much fun to play against, either.
Marcus Capers, the human pogo stick who doubles as a senior guard on the Washington State men’s basketball team, has developed a well-earned reputation as one of the most spectacular dunkers in college basketball.
In addition to annual compensation of $2.25 million per season for five years, new Washington State football coach Mike Leach will take home another $100,000 if the Cougars win the Pacific-12 Conference title game, play in a BCS nontitle bowl or finish in the top 10 in any of the four major polls.
The Washington State Cougars traditionally don’t win a lot of conference championships, but athletic director Bill Moos contends that WSU athletes would be more likely to win championships if WSU boosters led the Pacific-12 Conference in support.
The Washington State Cougars, playing without three potential starters, just keep winning basketball games.
Lost amid the hullabaloo associated with Washington State’s hiring of former Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach is the fact that one of Leach’s former Tech players was already at WSU.
Pullman – Mike Leach is known for his outspoken personality and willingness to talk about most anything, but Washington State’s new football coach would not confirm or deny media reports about assistant coaches who will be joining him.
MOSCOW, Idaho – Washington State and Idaho have met on the basketball court every year since 1906, but few of their games had a more thrilling finish than Wednesday night’s contest.
