Good morning, Coug fans!

Last time we talked about Washington State women’s basketball, they went ahead and crushed UW and Idaho, and they look to do it again against Oregon State tomorrow. Here’s some game information for you:

The player to watch is freshman Charlisse Leger-Walker. She doesn’t play like a freshman, she lets her confidence do the talking, and put up 29 points against the Huskies. The New Zealand native joined her sister, Krystal, and the pair have some really impressive numbers between them. My recommendation: get very hype.

Let’s look at what Oregon State is bringing to the table:

Taylor Jones, a sophomore center, will start. She put up 14 against Oregon, which is the leading field goal number from that game.

We’ll also see a lot of Aleah Goodman, a senior guard. She had 20 points against Utah, and has some consistent energy.

This is a match up I’m incredibly excited for. At the end of the day, I think we’re in for some solid basketball. I hope everyone is staying healthy and warm!

Despite the continued victories, the Cougars are no longer receiving votes in the AP Poll. Head coach Kyle Smith has remained humble, and said Tuesday he still doesn't think the team has earned that kind of recognition just yet. "That reflects reality. To be honest I don’t think we’re there yet," he said. “It’s not something we even think about or talk about. ”
