It has been a good first week of basketball for the Washington State Cougars. They are 4-0 after beating Alcorn State and Seattle U with relative ease, and then impressively dominating UC Santa Barbara and Idaho. There are some major takeaways from how the rotation has looked, the sets the Cougs are running, and the overall efficiency of the team on both ends. There are some really positive signs, but there have also been some negative ones and the Cougs have a lot to clean up if they want to compete in the Pac-12.
Rotations
The rotations have definitely been the most interesting storyline to follow in the early season, as there were a lot of questions about how Kyle Smith would handle the depth and talent on this team.
