While you were basking in the glory of a nine-win football season, you might or might not have noticed that the WSU basketball team got off to an 8-4 start. If you noticed, it's likely because you're a basketball fan, like me, who actually has Pac-12 Network.
If you didn't notice, it's probably because there wasn't a whole heck of a lot to grab your attention. The Cougars beat up on some pretty terrible teams at home (as expected), lost to Gonzaga and Oklahoma (as expected), had a couple of stinkers (including another[!] loss to Idaho), and finished up the nonconference portion of the schedule with a curb stomping of New Mexico* (which is presumably a not terrible team) in Hawaii.
