Spring sports are in mid-season form by virtue of it being mid-season and some fall sports are in mid-season form in the traditional sense of the phrase as they play scrimmages and welcome new players with a great deal of success.

This was a great week for your Daily Evergreen staff as we participated in the Murrow Symposium at WSU in which WSU alumni returned to campus to teach, guide and inspire students.

Huge thank you to every Coug who came back home, including the numerous Evergreen alumni.

Below is a roundup of what is happening in WSU sports.

WSU football

Daiyan Henley continues to impress at WSU Pro Day

Representatives from most NFL teams witnessed 10 Cougs and two Eastern Washington University Eagles work out and exhibit their football skills.

Daiyan Henley was the most impressive, at one point performing a series of on-field drills for about 10 minutes as all other football action in WSU’s Indoor Practice Facility came to a halt.

“When it’s time for me to go to the league, I’m representing the Cougs,” Henley said after the event.

WSU baseball

After the Cougs beat Oregon State, they lost six straight and seven of eight. However, it took a bit of winter weather to spring the Cougs back on the right track as they had a 4-0 homestand in which they beat Linfield and swept a top 25 team in UCLA (granted one game was postponed because of snow) and beat the other Cougs from BYU.

The next task is Arizona State, tied for first in the Pac-12.

WSU men’s basketball

Last season, WSU lost a lot of players to the transfer portal and one (Efe Abogidi) to the NBA G League. They also lost a lot of games but won seven straight to set up a second-round Pac-12 Tournament exit and first-round NIT loss at home to Eastern Washington.

The college basketball season is over which means the transfer and NBA Draft declaration season is here. 

Dishon Jackson and TJ Bamba have entered the transfer portal while Bamba, Mouhamed Gueye and Justin Powell have declared for the NBA Draft while maintaining their college eligibility.

March Madness

College basketball was nothing short of madness this March, with many upsets that ended on a high note as LSU and UConn won their respective women’s and men’s titles. Unfortunately, LSU’s championship was marred with a swarm of racist double standards as Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and LSU’s Angel Reese received starkly different reactions for similar actions.
