John Blanchette: Progress isn’t in WSU’s basketball vocabulary

PULLMAN – So you’re saying that if Robert Franks plays … and the game’s at home … and the other team is missing an NBA draft pick and its No. 3 scorer … and was on the skids even with those guys … then Washington State has a chance.

Not that the Cougars will win. And they didn’t.

But you’re saying there was a chance.

That doesn’t much sound like progress, does it?

Didn’t look anything like progress, either.

In fact, the Cougars’ 78-66 loss to Stanford at high noon on Saturday was a mad dash into an open manhole.
