WSU opens Pac-12 play at Washington

Good morning Coug fans. The men’s basketball version of your Washington State Cougars are in Seattle today to open the Pac-12 basketball season against the Washington Huskies. After finishing the non-conference slate 7-6, the Cougs get set to face what is technically a more difficult schedule starting today.

But it’s not exactly a murderer’s row.

The Pac-12, you see, is struggling. In men’s basketball, the conference has zero teams ranked in the top-25. It might be a one-bid league this March. Its “best” team just lost to Princeton. So, things have been better.
