PrintAlthough a lot of the attention has been on Connor Halliday, Marquess Wilson and the football team, the basketball season kicks off tonight with their game against Gonzaga. As such, we have our first basketball MMTQ.
Today's questions center on the fact we will all be streamin and threadin on a Monday. While Monday games are the norm for other conferences, the same is not the case among Pac-12 teams. Today we have three questions, each worth five points. Guesses will be accepted until 3 p.m. then I will start handing out points.
Q: Since 1980, how many Monday games has WSU won?
Q: Since 1980, what is WSU's winning percentage in Monday games?
Q: Who was the last team to beat WSU in a Monday game?

That's a ridiculous way to hand out points,
And yet it makes perfect sense.

Halliday is up for the Manning award.
2 quarterbacks nominated in one year?
We'll have to make it two QBs winning.

Wow
That is a lot more Monday night games than I expected. That means since 1980 we probably have played at least one Monday game a year. I can’t remember any Monday games. Because the Pac10 has played most games on Thursdays/Saturdays most of the Monday games had to be out of conference. Were a lot of the Monday games in early season tournaments?
I love it when CougCenter goes green, because it usually means we are winning.
Some years had no Monday night games.
A couple years had three.

Those must have been the dark years.
I love it when CougCenter goes green, because it usually means we are winning.
Points awarded?
I was closest to winning percentage without going over any credit for that? And I miss-typed 6, clearly I meant to type 26…okay not really. Wow, 26, never would have guessed that even if a clue was given that it was between 25 and 28.
