FOLKS: WE ARE DANCING. FINALLY. OFFICIALLY. DANCING!!
Like you, we can hardly contain our excitement — and that meant grabbing our microphones and recording a Selection Sunday show to celebrate the Cougs’ inclusion as a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
It’s a long show, but that’s how it goes when your team hasn’t participated in March Madness in 16 years. WSU’s opponent is the No. 10 seed Drake Bulldogs out of the Missouri Valley Conference.
The Bulldogs are and interesting and intriguing mid-major matchup. We agree that we’re glad the Cougs are playing a mid-major and not a high major, but WSU cannot take them lightly — the Bulldogs might not have elite athletes, but they most certainly have weapons that can hurt the Cougs if they’re not on their game.
Topics of discussion
Men’s basketball: Top of mind for the Cougs will be how to defend Tucker DeVries, who is an exceptional scorer. Top of mind for Drake will be keeping the Cougs off the offensive glass. Can WSU rein in their turnovers? And we take a very brief look at what Iowa State might hold in the next round if WSU can get past Drake.
Women’s basketball: The Cougs were left out of the field. Pain. But they’re playing in the WBIT which is cool, we guess?.
Beer: Jeff — A Seed To Blackened Acres (Holy Mountain); Craig — Beyond Spacetime, Beyond Self (Holy Mountain).

Pac-12 tournament preview, bracketology update (Episode 213)
For the first time since 2008, Washington State was not playing on the first day of the Pac-12 Tournament. The Cougs are seeded 2nd, and we now know their opponent: No. 10 Stanford, who came back from an 18-point second half deficit to beat No. 7 California in overtime — and whom the Cougs have already beaten twice this year by a combined 27 points. What might a third matchup have in store?

Bring on the Huskies (Episode 212)
It wasn’t easy, but it was still a sweep, as the WSU men’s basketball team returned home to face USC and UCLA last weekend. The Cougars trailed by double digits in both games but showed the resiliency that has served them so well in soaring to a 23-7 overall record and 14-5 in the Pac-12. And now, Washington awaits.

A monumental win over Arizona, and DJ Rodman returns (Episode 211)
Washington State’s win over Arizona last Thursday will go down in history as one of the great ones in program history. Pay no mind to the loss to Arizona State that followed it; the win over the Wildcats says so much more about who these Cougs really are.

A showdown with Arizona - for the Pac-12 title? (Episode 210)
The Cougars already own a victory over the Wildcats this season, a 73-70 affair in Pullman. But now they have to travel to one of the more hostile venues in the conference. It won’t be easy. But nothing worth having ever is. Can WSU pull off another upset win?

WSU beats Cal to win 6th straight, keeps moving up in brackets (Episode 209)
The Washington State Cougars are absolutely rolling through their men’s basketball season, having picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday night with a fairly easy win over Cal in their return to Pullman. The Cougs made sure there was none of the drama this time around. We break it down, reassess the Cougs’ NCAA tournament chances, and then look ahead to Stanford on Saturday.
Customer Reviews
No more Michael Preston!!!!!!
Is there anyway we can separate the two podcasts???? I feel like this is the ultimate bait and switch. I come here too listen to Craig and Jeff and end up listening to Michael Preston which I have no interest in doing.
Excellent analysis and great banter
This quickly became one of my favorite pods. Jeff and Craig know their stuff and have great rapport and chemistry. This pod is an absolute must for any WSU fan.
Stop tapping the microphone Craig!!!
You’re killing me with that sound. I need that sweet Cougar insight in my life though. It’s an affliction.
Really appreciate the content by Jeff and Craig. Keep up the good work!
