Coming off the best season in WSU Basketball history, one would think a big time opponent would be available for the annual Cougar Hardwood Classic. However, according to the Seattle PI, WSU will be playing Montana State at Key Arena on December 13th. Montana State? Really? Of the 300 and something D1 basketball teams the best the promoters can get is MSU? Here is a quote from the man in charge of getting the opponents, John Hines. "I talked to every big school in the country, and nobody wants to play Washington State," said Northwest Sports and Entertainment promoter John Hines. "If there was one or two with a sliver of hope, the dates just didn't work out." I have a hard time believing this but it is something we are going to have to live with. By the way, the following Saturday, Gonzaga will play expected top 5 ranked Uconn at Key Arena.
