The WSU women’s basketball team—WSU’s best basketball team, I should add—is in Berkeley tonight to end the regular season against the California Golden Bears. In seasons prior to last year, this would pretty much cap off the season, with only a Pac-12 Tournament game left, and those tended to end after one game for WSU.
But after the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in a generation last year, expectations have risen, and this year’s team is something special. The Cougs are on the verge of a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance—something unfathomable just a few seasons ago.
