HOT COUGAR ACTION: WSU Set For CBI Semifinals Tonight

After taking nearly a week off between the first and second round of the CBI, WSU returns to the court tonight for the semifinals just two days after dispatching Wyoming.

WSU will face Oregon State tonight at 7 p.m. in the rubber game plus one. This will be the first time WSU has faced OSU four times in a season since the 1962-1963 season. WSU lost all four games to OSU that season, so we are already two ahead of that pace.

Craig will be by with a preview later today, although I'm not really sure what you say when you are previewing a team for the fourth time in three months. If I were him I would just copy what he wrote prior to the Pac-12 tournament game against OSU and say everything is exactly the same except all the players are 14 days older.
