WSU women’s basketball picked to finish fifth in Pac-12 preseason poll

Last season, the Cougar women’s basketball team shocked the world. Despite finishing seventh in the Pac-12 regular season, the Cougs got on a roll and never got off. WSU won three of their last four in Pac-12 play and then won four in-a-row in Las Vegas to seal the first Pac-12 Tournament championship in school history.

That was fun. But, in the words of Bella Murekatete, it’s time to put that memory aside and “focus on going back-to-back.”

This week Murekatete, along with head coach Kamie Ethridge and All-American guard Charlisse Leger-Walker, returned to the scene of last season’s conference tournament victory for Pac-12 media day in Las Vegas.
