Trifecta of Cougs advance to Olympic semis

Klay Thompson, Brock Motum and Aron Baynes are still playing basketball at the Olympics in Rio.

You may have heard this already, but there’s a lot of basketball players in Brazil playing for a necklace with a shiny gold thing hanging from it*, but no school has more players vying for that necklace than Washington State University, who boasts three — Klay Thompson, Brock Motum and Aron Baynes.

*It should be noted that some basketball players will get a necklace with silver thingy on it and some will get one with a bronze thingy, but there’s a good chance that a former WSU basketball player receives one of those necklaces — probably three!
