It’s iffy, but maybe not as bleak as you think.
The leap to the NCAA tournament was always going to be a big one for the Washington State Cougars this season, and — unfortunately — they’ve gone out and shown us exactly why.
Last night’s loss to the Boise State Broncos was as illustrative as any of the four that preceded it as the Cougars closed out their non-conference schedule. There was the now-trademark long scoring drought, but more than that, there was an impending sense of doom as WSU frittered away another lead and just couldn’t make enough plays to — if you’ll excuse my mixed metaphors — right the ship and get over the hump in a close game.
