🔼 The Welcoming Party. Coach Moore and his staff have been busy welcoming new faces to Pullman.

Over the past week, the Cougars have added 21 transfers for the program for the upcoming spring season.

🔼 Top-10 Showdown. Tomorrow night, the WSU men’s hoops team welcomes perennial national contender Gonzaga to town as the ninth-ranked Bulldogs roll into Beasley at a 17-1 clip so far this season.

It is the 153rd meeting between the two programs that are separated by just 65 miles. WSU holds a 98-54 lead in the head-to-head series.

Tip time on CBS Sports Network is set for 7:10 PT.

🔼 Diamond Days Ahead. 30 Days. That’s all that separates us from the return of WSU baseball.

The boys are full force into the final preparations for the upcoming 2026 campaign. The season opener is set for Friday, Feb. 13 when the Cougars open up a three-game weekend series in Tuscaloosa with Alabama.

From gameday to payday, rep Crimson and Gray.
