SEASON PREVIEW: WSU men’s basketball sets its sights on March Madness

The Cougs are set for a run at their first NCAA Tournament in 15 years.

Basketball season is almost upon us — the Washington State men tip off tonight at 4:30 p.m. PT to open their season — and the Palouse is buzzing with excitement. It has been well over a decade since WSU made a tournament run, but Kyle Smith and his staff have continually improved year after year and the next step looks to be a return to March Madness.

The offseason was a successful one for the Cougs, as they retained a lot of top talent, got two major impact transfers, and brought in an excellent recruiting class to boot.
