In more ways than one, the Washington State women’s basketball team is looking to rebound this season. A ninth-place finish in the Pac-12 was the product of many things, but getting outrebounded by an average of six a game was the biggest.
“If one or two rebounds go our way, it’s a different ballgame,” WSU coach June Daugherty said as the Cougars prepare for the new season. “That’s been a big focus for us, and I’m excited to see that process – at the end of the day you have to have that passion on the glass.”
You also need experience, which should be a big strength as the Cougars hope to improve on last year’s 14-16 season (5-13 Pac-12).
