Check out the combined stats for the Weas from yesterday's game: I'm willing to give "Tavid" a little bit of a break on yesterday's low rebound numbers--after all, if you let your opponent shoot 53% from the field, there aren't as many missed shots to rebound.

Last week, we talked about some college basketball players who've underachieved to start the 2013-14 season.

Five years ago, if Washington had hired the best assistant from the staff of, say, Texas, and he'd gone 24-21 in league games at the UW, does he get a sniff from the Trojans? Or think about it like this: In the Apple Cup the other day, Washington State was at its own 28 with 5½ minutes left, down 20-17.
