Cougars Beat Idaho

The WSU  Cougars  men's basketball  team beat

the Idaho Vandals  Monday Night  90-67.

Coach Riley thought  the Cougars got off a slow

slow start. Second half the Cougars went on

a run where LeJuan Watts scored the teams ten 

points straight. LeJuan scored 16 for the game

and had career high 14 rebounds. 

Former Washington  Huskies  Nate Caimese

led the Cougars with 18 points. He has scored

in double  figures  all three wins.

The Cougars combinated the boards with 

46-30 in rebounds.  

The Cougars play at Iowa next on Friday. 

The Hawkeyes  are 2-0  however play 

South Dakota on Tuesday. This will be

match playing a Big Ten  apponent.

The Cougars play this season in the WCC

so they will face Gonzaga twice. It will

be interesting how they do after a good

season  last year in the Pac-12.  Go Cougs!

Gonzaga Wins Again

Yes the Gonzaga Bulldogs beat

Arizona State 88-80 Sunday 

afternoon. ASU were down by four 

at 42.6 secs remaining  in the game. 

A turnover gave the Bulldogs the

win pretty much. 

The Sun Devils had the lead several

times in the second half however

could hold down the home team.

Had this been a home game by

the Sun Devils it might have been

a Zags loss.  Important thing is

getting it done when time is come

to a close.

The Zags had three players score in

double figures. Braden Huff came

off the bench to score 21 points.

Also Michael Ajayi came off the

bench leading them with 12 rebounds

and nine points. This is why it is

important to have a couple bench

players that can regularly get the 

job done.

Arizona State had three players

scoring in double figures too. 

Basheer Jihad led them with 22

points as well as 1O rebounds.

The Sun Devils shot 47.6 percent

from the field while the Zags shot

fifty percent. Both shot poorly

behind the three point line. Both

teams shot well from the free

throw line however Gonzaga

made six more of them.

Gonzaga's next game will be

on Friday night at home against

UMass Lowell. They are 2-0

however Gonzaga best game they play so far. Go Zags!

Cougars Win Again

The Washington State Cougars 

won their eight game of the

season beating Utah State 49-28.

The Cougars did something they

don't normally do in rushing the

bslk so much for 303 yards. 

Quarterback John Mateer threw

four touchdowns for the Cougars

with three going to wide receiver

Kyle Williams. Mateer ran for a

touchdown as well.

Running back Wayshawn Parker 

had a big night for the Cougars 

going for 149 yards. Half the yards

were on one play when he ran for

75 yards and a touchdown at the

beginning of the second half. That

was his second of the game.

The Cougars are 8-1 now and play

next at New Mexico. 

In hockey the Seattle Kraken on

Friday night ended a four game 

losing streak on the road by

beating Vegas Nights 4-3 at home.

The Kraken made a trade with

the Vancouver Canucks reacquiring

Daniel Sprong for future considerations. He is on a one

year deal he signed with the Canucks

after playing last year with Detroit

Red Wings. 

The Kraken are 6-8-1 and in six place

in the Pacific division. They were in

third place before going on that

five game road trip. The Kraken's

next game is Tuesday night at

home against Columbus Blue 

Jackets. Go Kraken!

Huskies Roll Over

Penn State who were favored 

by 13.5 won going away 35-6

over the Washington Huskies.

The Nittany Lions led the

game 28-0 at halftime. The 

second half were played by 

reserves.

The takeaways were easy

by what you can see by the

score. The offense couldn't

do much at after the first

possession of the game where

they missed a field goal. The

defense were unable to stop

Penn State. The Huskies 

continue not to win on the road.

Will Rogers didn't come back

to play the second half.  Rogers

threw thirteen passes while

completing ten for 59 yards

and an interception. Freshman

Desmond Williams Jr. threw

ten balls with six caught. He

led the Huskies in rushing

as well going 38 yards on 

ten carries. Starting running

back Jonah Coleman carried

rlevdn times for 24 yards.

The Huskies had eight different

receivers to make a catch. Giles

Jackson had five catches while

Denzel Boston led in yardage

at 35 on two catches.

The Huskies had two field goals

with one in the third quarter and

the other in the fourth. This was 

a game where the Huskies didn't

win in yardage while losing as

they had before. Nittany Lions

had 486 yards total while Huskies

had 193.

The Huskies play at home next Friday night against UCLA. They have a bye

before ending the regular season

at Oregon on November 30. Making

a bowl game they really need to beat

the Bruins.

The Huskies in men's basketball

team lost at Nevada Saturday

night 63-53. They were in the 

game until late in the game.

The Huskies had only two players

to score in double figures. Tyree

Ihenacho led with 15 points while

Tyler Harris had ten. Great Osobor

led the Huskies in rebounds with

nine however had only three points

compared to 16 in the season

opener.

The Huskies will play Seattle 

Pacific at home on Wednesday.

Go Dawgs!

Cougars Beat Bradley Braves Friday

The Washington State Cougars 

had another nice win Friday 

night at home over Bradley

91-74. 

This is over a team that has a 

good history men's basketball

in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Cougars only shot 10-31

behind the arc however went to

the foul line 33 times and making

27.  They were only up by three

at halftime however went on a

14-1 to begin the second half.

The Cougars primarily play six

players and all of them again

scored in double figures. They

were led by Cedric Coward and

Natd Calmese with 18 points.

LeJuan Watts led in rebounds

with eleven to go with his 12 

points.

The Cougars next game will be

Monday night at home against

Idaho. The Vandals are 1-1

and lost to UC Davis Thursday

79-76. A team that gave Washington

Huskies fits and almost came out

with a win in Seattle last Tuesday.

So Idaho should give the Cougars

another good test at home. Go Cougs!

Mariners General Manager Speaks At Meeting

This week the general  managers  are 

meeting in Texas. Seattle  Mariners 

general  manager  Justin Hollander 

said the outfield  is  fairly  solid.

Julio Rodriguez  in  center field 

of course. Rady Arozarena who

they acquired at the trading deadline

 in left and Victor Robles in right.

Robles did a fine job when Julio

was injured so he will play there

when needed. Hollander mentioned 

Luke Raley  as the fourth outfielder 

when not playing first base.

The question  is  to improve  the

infield. Primarily  that is second 

and third base. Right now the

Mariners  are solid defensively 

in the infield  however the need

to improve  offensively.  

First base Raley playing against 

righties and have someone to

play against lefties  and when 

he is in the outfield  too. On the

roster right now is Tyler Locklear. 

The Mariners  may sign Justin 

Turner if another team doesn't 

snatch him up though he enjoyed 

his time while coming over at the

deadline.  Dylan Moore could play

some first however his value is

playing multiple  positions.  Another

choice could  be Mitch Haniger if

he is on the team. Most likely  he will

be playing  some dh. We have the

question  about Mitch Garver  as well. 

Will the Mariners  dump either Haniger

or Garver. Most likely  not both. In

Haniger they know they have and

hopefully  be better after a poor season 

in 2024. Garver right now would be the

backup catcher  and play dh at times.

This would depend  on how he hits. 

The Mariners  may explore picking up

another catcher but that isn't  a priority. 

Next time we will look at the bullpen.

The Mariners  need to look at bolstering 

it though we hope George  Santos  will 

be healthy  at the beginning of spring 

trying and Matt Brash will return at some

point though June could be it. All depends

on his recovery  continues this winter

and into Spring Training.  Go M's.  

Preview: Washington Huskies at Penn State

The Washington Huskies play this 

Saturday late afternoon 5 pm Pacific

time at Penn State.

The Huskies face the number six

team in the country. Last week the Huskies beat USC Trojans at home

26-21 while Penn State lost to Ohio

State number two 20-13. The  Nittany

Lions are favored by 13.5 points.

The Huskies are 0-3  on the road.

They are tied for eighth place in the 

Big Ten.

The Huskies and the Nittany Lions

have played only four times and

three were in bowl games. Penn 

State won last time in the 2017

Fiesta Bowl 35-28.

Penn State average 187.5 yards

a game on the ground. I am sure

they will open up against the UW

in that manner. They are 24th ranked

throwing the ball however the Huskies

are one of the top teams on pass defense.

The Nittany Lions quarterback is

Drew Allar who completes just over

seventy percent of his throws and

has 12 touchdown pass and five

interceptions on the season.

Kaytron Allen is the Nittany Lions

starting running back averaging

sixty-seven yards a game at 4.7

yards per carry. He has four TDs

on the season.

Tyler Warren is Penn State's leading 

receiver with 51 catches and four 

touchdowns.

Penn State is averaging 30.5 points a game and giving up 15. This game 

could come close to their average.

Even in their four losses the Huskies

have better stats against their opponents. It will be important for

the Huskies to do better in the red

zone if they want to have any chance

to win. The defense causing a turnover

or two would help as well. Go Dawgs!

Huskies Win Season Opener

The Huskies did what the other

Big Ten schools have done who

played winning the season open.

The same goes for the Ciugs and 

Zags.

The Huskies got off to a good start

early though they let UC Davis stay

in the game. Under Mike Hopkins

the Huskies often started off slow.

The Huskies did let Davis stick

around though. Final Washington 79

UC

The game would have been farther

apart had they shot better from the

foul line. Huskies shot at 55% shots

made. It was right at 50% until late

in the game. Both teams made the

same amount of free throws however

the Huskies took 12 more shots.

Had the Huskies made six more it

would have made more comfortable

ending.

The Huskies played mostly seven 

players all going at least twenty 

minutes. Forward Great Osobor 

in his first game as a Husky led

the team with 15 points and 17

rebounds which is amazing stat.

Most likely he will be the team's

best player.

The Huskies had five players score 

in double figures with three starters

and two reserves. Senior DJ Davis

had only two points late in the game. 

We should see much better the rest

of the season. The Huskies rotation

should be seven though two others

will see OK minutes around fifteen.

This would depend on the opponent

and foul trouble. 

Louis Kortright played fifteen minutes

as the eighth player and Tyler Harris

played well late in the game going

12 minutes and having nine points. 

Both could play additional minutes

going  forward. Kortright had been

hurt during camp so he performs 

well as does Harris more minutes. 

The Huskies will need play better

against Nevada on Saturday 

who beat Sam Houston 91-75

in season opener. Go Dawgs!

Mitch Haniger and More

Mitch Haniger accepted his $17

million player option on Monday.

Matt Brash, fellow pitchers Jackson

Kowar and Blas Castono along

with Sam Haggerty were activated

to the 40- man roster who filled it

right now. Brash likely won't be ready 

until next  June likely. Kowar out 

most of last year to and Castano 

pitched in both double A and triple

A for the Mariners. Haggerty was 

hurt while playing for Tacoma. He

is eligible for arbitration so the

Mariners could leave him or put

him on waivers like they did for

Luis Urias.

The Mariners will have to reduce 

the roster if they make a trade that

involves acquiring more than one

player or they sign a free agent or 

pick up off waivers. Also if they have to 

add someone they don't want to lose

to rule five draft in December.

The Mariners have 23 pitchers and

17 position players on the roster.

Usually they carry 20 pitchers and

20 position players. Most likely 

the first to be taken off is a pitcher

unless the player they want to add

is a position and they are willing

to drop one.

Right now you have to figure Haniger 

will be on the opening day roster

unless they are willing to cut that

much payroll and still pay him. They

 could trade him however the other

team probably won't want to pay the 

full amount. On the team Mitch will

be the fourth or fifth outfielder and

dh as well.

Mitch Garver is listed on the roster

as the dh however he is right now

the teams backup catcher as he was

the second have of last season. The

Mariners don't have another catcher

so they would have to sign another

one if they want a third catcher. 

Congratulations to Cal Raleigh for

winning the gold glove as a catcher 

along with Dylan Moore as utility

player.  This could make him more

valuable if the Mariners wanted to

trade him which is a possibility.

The Mariners have seven infielders 

and eight outfielders listed. Luke 

Raley is listed as an outfielder though

he played a lot of first base in September 

and is considered right

now as someone playing time next

season as well. Sam Haggerty listed

to though he could play any of the 

infield spots just like Dylan Moore

is listed as an infielder but can play

the outfield too. 

The Mariners didn't accept Jorge

Polanco option so they will have to 

acquire one. Currently Ryan Bliss 

along with Dylan Moore and Leo Rivas

would play second. The Mariners 

acquire a third baseman than Josh

Rojas could play second to.

Rojas does return at third though

the Mariners look to upgrade the

position. Dylan Moore would play

as a platoon player if they don't

upgrade. Right now Raley and 

Tyler Locklear could platoon at

first base unless they bring back

Justin Turner who is a free agent 

and has shown interest. JP Crawford

is the shortstop with Dylan Moore

and Rivas could see action too.

Ryan Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez 

and Victor Robles be the starting

rotation with Haniger and Raley

playing on occasion right now.

Dominic Canzone and Cade Marlowe

be the guys after them.

We will see what the Mariners 

do over the weeks ahead. The

pitching any changes will likely

happen in the bullpen unless a

surprise happens. Go M's!

WSU and Gonzaga Both Win

One thing both the Cougars and

the Zags have in common is an

that will score a lot of points.

It will be interesting when they

play each other in the West Coast

Conference. 

The Cougars beat Portland State

100-92. The Cougars got off to a

slow start being down by 17 points.

They went on a 25-7 run to take over.

The Cougars had a eight point lead 

at half time which was the difference.

The  Cougars had all five starters 

score in double figures plus Isaiah

Watts coming off the bench with 20 points. I thought Watts would start

however having a player who can

score off the bench is good. He did

play 27 minutes so it is like another

starter. Rihards Vavers was the only 

other guy getting playing time off

the bench going 16 minutes however 

only scored one point. Vavers is

coming back from injury so his time will likely increase.  The Cougars look to go with a seven player rotation.

Cedric Coward led the Cougars with

23 points and 12 rebounds. Former

Washington Husky Nate Calmese in

his Cougar debut was third in scoring

with 17 and led with five assists.

On Friday the Cougars play Bradley.

This should be a bigger test and they

will have to get off on better start.

Gonzaga played Baylor in their

season debut. Although they played

in Spokane it wasn't on their home

court. It didn't matter as they played

well and had their faithful student

section at the game

The Zags started on a 8-1 run then

Baylor did a run of their own going

8-0 to take a temporary lead. After 

that they blew out Baylor. Expected 

a closer game as Baylor was ranked eight while Zags six.  The final was

Gonzaga 101 Baylor 63.

The Zags led Baylor by 19 at halftime

and outscored them again by 19 in

the second half. The Zags are not going to let up it looks like. The big

difference the Gonzaga scored thirty

more points behind the three point

line. They made 41.9 percent behind

line while Baylor shot 14.3 percent.

The Zags had easy shots as well

as they shot 57.1 percent from the 

field. They dominated the defensive 

boards with 29 compared to 18 by

Baylor.

Gonzaga went with an eight man

rotation most of the way with three

starters in double figures and two 

off the bench. Nolan Hickman led

the Zags with 17 points. Braden Huff

who is instant offense when he usually

comes off the bench had 14 points

in 16 minutes.

Gonzaga's next outing will be at home

against Arizona State on Sunday. ASU

play their first game Tuesday night

at home against Idaho State. They

play Santa Clara Friday before facing

the Zags. See how good they are

heading into Sunday.  Go Zags!

The Washington Huskies have their season opener against UC Davis 

Tuesday night. We see whether 

they will win as well. It would be

nice to see all three teams have a

good season. 

Preview Utah State at Washington State

The Cougars are at home against

Utah State Aggies this coming 

Saturday. Both teams had a bye. 

The Aggies are struggling having 

a 2-6 record on the season winning 

the opener and beating Wyoming on 

the road thevSaturday before last 

27-25. Wyoming has struggled with 

a 1-7 record.

On offense the Aggies are averaging

158.1 yards on the ground while

300.88 in the air per game. On defense 

they are close giving up 244 yards 

rushing while 255 passing. 

The Cougars who will be a big favorite

in this game average 158 yards on the

ground while 280 yards in the air. 

Facing the Aggies we can see the

Cougars mixing up the run and passing 

game. Most likely the Cougars will

score early on a long pass to get

things going. 

If the Aggies have the  ball first we 

could see them running the ball

to keep the clock moving. A good

strategy especially on the road. 

Turnovers should make a big diffence

especially if the Aggies have trouble

holding on. The  Cougars defense

will try to force the Aggies to get

in position to turn the ball over.

The Cougars are a 19.5 underdog

to the Cougars. WSU should go to

8-1 record. Go Cougs!

Monday night  the Cougars men's 

basketball  team begins their non 

league schedule at home against 

Portland State followed by Bradley 

on Friday.

The Washington  Huskies men's 

team begin at home against UC

Davis on Tuesday.  Like the Cougars 

they have a new head coach and

a group of new players as well.

 Gonzaga's men's  begin Monday

as well. The number 6 Bulldogs 

don't  start lightly  take on number

8 Baylor. It should be a fantastic 

game. 

Let you know how all three teams

first outings go. Stay tuned all

season long.

Seahawks Lose In Overtime

The Seahawks lost Sunday afternoon

with the offense making too many 

mistakes. Final Rams 26 Seahawks 20

Geno Smith threw for over 300 yards

and had three touchdowns including

late in the fourth quarter to send it into

overtime. The Seahawks have gone 1-5  since winning their first three games.

Four losses at home. 

The game was ugly with Geno Smith

having three interceptions. At times

he and the offense didn't do well

though they had more yardage then

the Rams. The Seahawks defense was 

good for the most part especially 

against the run where they have had

some trouble. They couldn't make

up for the trouble the offense had 

on the day. 

Kyren Williams led the Rams in

rushing with 22 carries for 69 yards.

The Seahawks were ready for the 

Rams running game. They did have

trouble stopping the passing game 

at times. Cooper Kupp had 11 catches

for 104 yards however he couldn't get

into the end zone. The Rams did have

two touchdowns in the air.  The third

touchdown was 104 yards off a Geno 

interception in the 4th quarter.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his best game as a Seahawk catching seven for 180

yards and two touchdowns. The first

touchdown was with five seconds left

in the first half and the second was 

under a minute remaining in the

game to allow a chance  the Seahawks

could have in winning the game.

He did have a catch that was fumbled

as well. Thst was his only mistake

really in the game. He might had done

even better if penalties hadn't occurred

either. 

The Seahawks have a bye next week

is probably a good thing with the

record they have. The Seahawks 

next game will be on November 17

on the road against the 49ers. We

hope they can recover since they do

have a chance still to win the

division.  

The Arizona Cardinals beat the

Chicago Bears Sunday 29-9 at

home to be 5-4 and first place.

Rams and the 49ers are both 4-4

so tied for second and the Seahawks

4-5. The 49ers had a bye this week

and take on Tampa Bay next Sunday

on the road. The division is on a

bottleneck so anyone can still win.

Go Hawks. 

Huskies Beat USC

The game Saturday night the Huskies 

dominated the first half leading 20-7. 

The Huskies had two touchdowns 

and two field goals.

The Trojans had two touchdowns

dominating the Huskies on the ground

and had one of the touchdowns 

made on fourth and nine. Not a good stand.

The Huskies scored the only TD in

the 4th quarter and the defense made

adjustment. They were able to stop

USC on goal line stands twice. The 

second was on fourth and four with 

33 seconds left.

This extends the Huskies winning

streak to 19 games at home.  We hope this goes to the next game too. Next weeks game will be a rough one taking on number three ranked Penn State on 

the road though the lost to Ohio

State 20-13. I don't think there are

any easy games to play in the Big

Ten.

We will have a preview this next week.

Go Dawgs!

Washington State Cougars 2025 Football Schedule

The Washington  State  Cougars  who have 

this weekend  off before playing  Utah State

next Saturday  have already announced their 

schedule  for next season. 

The Cougars  are currently  7-1 and look

to go to a pretty  good  bowl  game this 

year.

The Cougars will only play two games

against Mount West schools next year. 

They will face San Diego State  in game

two and Colorado  State in game five

on September  27. These two teams

will join the new Pac-12  in 2026. 

The Cougars will begin on August 30

facing Idaho at home. They have played

each other in non conference games 

often. It would be interesting  if they

could add Idaho to the new Pac-12 

where they would make enough teams.

They haven't  been mentioned  before.

The Cougars and Vandals are a natural 

rivals as they are close to each other.

Speaking of rivals the Cougars will play

Washington  Huskies on September  20

at Pullman in the Apple Cup. Before that

the Cougars travel to North Texas State

in game three.

The game against Colorado State will

be on the  road. They have a bye week

after that. They have two road games

after the bye to begin October against

Ole Miss and Virginia.  Those will be 

two tough games. They come home

to play Toledo. 

The Cougars  begin November on the

1st playing at Orego State Beavers. 

In an oddity the play the Beavers twice.

They have another bye on November 8.

The next week  they are home against 

Louisiana State then on the road at

James Madison. They finish the season 

at home against Oregon State. 

This will be interesting  to  see  how good

of a season  after this one. Go Cougs!

 

Mariners Make A Couple Moves Friday

On Friday now with the World Series over the Mariners have made a couple

moves that were dxpected. We could see more over the next week.

Jorge Polanco who didn't have the

season as expected after being

acquired shortly before spring

training the Mariners didn't accept

the teams option. He will be a

free agent. Though the Mariners 

likely won't resign him they still

could actually. His option was 

for $12 million. There is a good

chance he will not receive that

much on a new contract. Jorge

may have to decide on a one year

contract though another team

could go on a two year deal.

Signing a deal there will be

incentives build in I would expect.

The Mariners put Luis Urias on 

waivers as he was not tendered 

since he do for arbitration. This 

puts 36 player on the 40 man 

roster.  Sam Haggerty who is on

60 day injured list is eligible for

arbitration too. The Mariners 

will likely non tender him too. 

The Mariners currently have 20 

pitchers on the 40 man roster

with Matt Brash and Jackson

Kowar on the 60 day injured list.

Both will stay on likely until at

least spring training. Kowar 

the Mariners could release

depending on how his future

looks in Seattle and whether

the Mariners need a spot.

Right now it looks like three

of the four infield positions

are open although the Mariners

could look to foot all of them.

JP Crawford had a poor season

in 2024 and whether the Mariners

are willing to see if he has a

comeback in 2025. He is good in

the clubhouse it seems.  The

team has shortstops in the minors

however non seems to be ready 

yet and Crawford is still under

contract.

The Mariners have Luke Raley

who did an OK job late in the

season at first base. Also Tyler

Locklear who played most of the

season at Tacoma though began in

double A is on the 40 man roster.

Locklear did have 45 at bats for

the Mariners however hit on .156

and had two home runs. Though 

not good he could be ready in

2025. Justin Turner who the M's

acquired at the trading deadline 

had a good time on the team.

He is a free agent and if the Mariners are interested he could be back next season. He was valuable batting

.264 and had five home runs in 48 

games. Turner certainly enjoyed

his time in Seattle. Reliever Yimi

Garcia who is a free agent as well.

The only two to are free agents. 

With Polanco and Urias gone the

Mariners have Ryan Bliss and Leo

Rivas on the roster to play second

base although they can play short

as well. Both showed some flashes.

The Mariners may go out and acquire

a second baseman with through trade

or free agency. The only prospect

that might be ready is Cole Young.

He would be a favorite to take the spot.

Josh Rojas who began the season

platooning with Urias at third base

may have been the Mariners best

hitter into May however slumped

after that. Rojas ended up only

hitting .225 though his defense

was excellent and better than expected.

The likihood the Mariners won't

acquire a first, second and third

baseman for next season. The

chance they will acquire a second 

and third baseman. I would look

first getting a  third baseman then a second baseman. Most likely Rojas

and Dylan Moore will be the backup

infielders depending on how the

upgrading goes. 

The Mariners due sign Turner he

will be playing  some first and

dh. The Mariners acquire a first

baseman which could be some on 

the market we could see Turner 

and Raley being the primary dh. 

Raley as the 4th outfielder too.

Of course at times Moore could

play the outfield well as the infield.

All this comes down to what Dipoto, 

general manager Hollander and

manager Dan Wilson would like to

see. 

Right here keep up to what the

Mariners will do during the off

season. Go M's. 

Preview of WSU Cougars Men's Basketball Opener

The Washington State Cougars

open the season on Monday at

home against Portland State.

The Cougars are now the member

of the West Coast Conference for

two years before going back to

the new Pac-12. 

The Cougars have a new head coach

David Riley who was at nearby Eastern

Washington for three seasons. Isaiah

Watts is the only returning player who

lettered last year. Watts is a sophomore who came off the bench

and is expected to start. The Cougars

have 12 players who are new to the

team including four who transferred

from Easter Washington.

The Cougars are 10-0 in their series

with Portland State. The four players

coming from Eastern Washington are

familiar with their opponent since they

played in the same conference. 

Though the Cougars have 13 players

usually in preseason games they usually go with ten. Depending how 

the game goes we could see the 

other three play for a few minutes.

What the starting lineup for the

Cougars we will see. Besides Watts

three of gge four transfers from

Eastern Washington will likely start.

Usually going into the season the

lineup is usually not known unless

most of the starters returned. With

the transfer portal often we see changes every year and a new coach

adds to it.

Portland State has eight transfers in

while returning two starters. The two 

returning starters are senior forward Isaiah Johnson who averaged 9.3 points a  game last season and 4.8 rebounds along with junior guard Ismail Habib averaging nine points

and 2.8 assists a game. 

The Cougars football team along

with their opponent Utah State

have a bye week so we will have 

preview coming up next week.

Go Cougs!
