Although football season is still in full swing, basketball season is quickly approaching. My expectations for the 2011 basketball season are low, but slowly rising thanks to posts like this from Jeff and practice reports like this from Vince Grippi.
Freshman DaVonte Lacy is going to contribute right away. He's physically capable and talented enough to help. … The thinned-down Reggie Moore is playing more like the freshman than the sophomore. … D.J. Shelton has work to do, but I understand he's not shy about putting in the time. That bodes well for the future. … You'll be surprised by Brock Motum this season.

How We Go: WSU can be had either way, so Ducks should run all over the Cougars - Addicted To Quack
