The state of Texas has not been kind to the Washington State men's basketball team. A few days after dropping the season opener to UTEP, the Cougars were blown out on the road against TCU, losing 81-54. WSU got off to a rough start, going down 14-0 to start and never recovered.
If you missed the game, here is an idea of how it went through Twitter accounts of some CougCenter authors.
Turnover and foul for an and-1 on the opening possession. Then the color guy's mic peaks. Great start.

Two possessions, two turnovers and two fouls. #TheProcess

What is it about WSU basketball coaches starting players inferior to guys on the bench?

At least I get to listen to TCU homers as they destroy WSU.

46 minutes into the season, I think we're all done with #theprocess

Air ball from Ike. Three fouls, two turnovers, two missed free throws and in a gym that belongs to the Fort Worth school district.

TCU only shot 20% in that possession! They also took enough shots to shoot 20% in one possession!

The Cougars look so much worse than I imagined.

Are bucket hats a thing in Ft. Worth?

TCU didn't win a conference game this year and we're down by 33.

Getting blown out by a bad team woooooo Ernie Kent era off to a fast start.

Is there an awful hybrid sport we can create to determine who would win between 2014-15 mens basketball and 2008 football?
— Kyle Sherwood (@BigWoodWSU) November 18, 2014
But really though, what was up with those bucket hats?

First Look at WSU’s game Saturday at Arizona State - Spokesman.com - Nov. 18, 2014
The Cougars want to keep the good vibes going. Washington State is playing carefree football since USC eliminated it from bowl consideration and the Cougars appear to have unearthed a very good quarterback in redshirt freshman Luke Falk. The former backup has played well but has yet to face a defensive test like he will this weekend in the desert against an angry ASU team. If he plays as well against the Sun Devils as he did against USC and Oregon State, the Cougars will have really found a gem in their former walk-on quarterback.
