Updated Warning: The FSN NW airing of this game, at least in the Pullman area, will take place at 10pm. The game is actually taking place at 7:30 p.m.
Normally, there is a SBN scorebug at the top of this page that shows you the score as it changes live. I disabled it for tonight.
I'll actually make two GameThreads for tonight: one for the live game at 7:30 (this one), and one for the TV version at 10:00. That means, if you want to watch the game on TV at 10pm without knowing the outcome, do not participate in this GameThread. Just wait patiently for the 10pm version. Actually, scratch that. We'll just do the one GameThread.
Got it?
Or just check out the live stream here, found by GoCougs.
I seem to be a little worse than Nuss at getting the probable starters right, but let's give it a go:
