Once again this season, Washington State is sitting at home watching the NCAA Tournament. It’s a pretty common occurrence for the program these days. Washington State has picked up just three NCAA Tournament berths over the last 35 years. In 2007 and 2008 Tony Bennett led the Cougs to the dance and, in 1994, it was Kelvin Sampson at the helm.
You’re probably all too familiar with the story of Bennett, who is hoping to lead his Virginia team to a little more success than he had last year in the Tournament. But I’ll leave those complicated feelings for a difference article on a different day.
