It has been two weeks since the last Wazzu Weekly, but your favorite rundown of WSU sports happenings is back and what an exciting time too!

Basketball is underway! WSU women’s basketball is 3-0 for the fourth straight year under the direction of head coach Kamie Ethridge. Charlisse Leger-Walker was named Pac-12 player of the week for the second time in her career after averaging 25 points per game through three games.

WSU men’s basketball looked great in their season opener against Texas State, a fellow National Invitational Tournament team but celebrated Halloween late by repeating many of the same haunting habits as last season. The Cougs were haunted by long scoreless streaks in their 71-61 loss to Boise State, an NCAA Tournament team.

On Tuesday, they played Prarie View A&M, a historically Black university in the Pac-12 / SWAC Legacy Series which aims to educate fans, athletes and staff alike on the importance of HBCUs and broader practices of anti-racism.

WSU football is bowl-eligible after their sixth win on Saturday. It was truly a tale of two halves for the Cougs who shut out Arizona State 28-0 in the first half and were shut out by the Sun Devils 18-0 in the second half.

Twenty-eight is greater than 18 of course and so the Cougs won thanks to a solid rushing day from Nakia Watson, good decision-making from Cam Ward and a defense that continues to create big plays including an interception by Chau Smith-Wade.
