The Washington State Cougars and Idaho Vandals will square off on the gridiron for the first time in six years this September. The cadence of that series has slowed significantly as the Vandals look for higher-paying opportunities elsewhere and the Cougs seek to mix up their scheduling a bit more. Despite the football games happening less frequently than we’d like, we could always, and I mean always, count on the Battle of the Palouse continuing on the hardwood.
That is, until this year, apparently.
The Spokesman Review reported yesterday that for the first time since 1906, Washington State and Idaho won’t play one another in men’s basketball.
