I thought Bayes was a brickwall against Omar. Rebounds...did that go in favor of WSU in 2nd half? Looked like they were able to blockout our bigs... Without Mills, Wassu wins & we would've validated the NCAA decision. Rochestie is the 1st player I've seen play Mills tight. He still lost, but he was tight on Patty, at least for awhile.

wsucoug - The Cougs played very well (as in tough and aggressive) after travelling to our two car garage of a gym. Good luck next year.

Perhaps the old timers can help me, but was tonight the first post-season victory in Gaels basketball history? I believe we are insolvent in the NCAA
tourney....don't know about the NIT.

Postgame highlight
In the ticket line afterward, Omar stepped outside and said, "Everybody get your tickets!" Gotta love it. |

Good news: Nice game, Gaels! Bad News: It'll be a decade (if that) before another Pac-10 team sets foot in that gym, after that win and Oregon last year.

i have to say the WSU fans were very disrespectful. one older gentleman leaned down into the student section and dropped a racial slur at a sophomore. he tried
to hop over the railing...things were getting ugly, but the students prevented anything from going down. shame on you WSU...

Just to be fair, we sat close to a guy in the WSU sweatshirt. He was polite, introduced himself to everybody around his seat, asked questions about our team
and cheered on his guys enthusiastically without any trash talk. After the game he stationed himself near the corner of the court and offered encouragement
and condolences to every WCU player as they walked off the court. A good guy, whose presence and decorum should be considered before we trash the whole
contingent.

I am willing to cut the Cougs some slack on this one.
Some of my best friends are Cougs. Besides the Gaels, you may not find a more fiercely loyal fan or party machine than a Coug. Remember, all they have during the darkness and cold of winter on the palouse is Cougar athletics. You thought Spokane was isolated, let me introduce you to Pullman, WA. Jake C, '94 |

I sat next to a Coug Tuesday night and she was very well behaved. Of course, it was my wife. She cheered loudly for the Cougs and when the outcome was
obvious, she cheered politely for the Gaels.
