Cougar Basketball Notebook
PULLMAN – Patrick Simon, a diehard Washington State fan while growing up in Ephrata, had only good things to say about WSU when he chose to transfer after last season to seek more playing time.

Patrick Simon sheds light on his departure
PATRICK SIMON, the son of a Washington State graduate, grew up a diehard Cougars fan. He jumped at the chance to make the earliest verbal commitment in WSU sports history when he was just a 14-year-old freshman at Ephrata High School, and he arrived in Pullman two years ago with visions of stardom.

Initial (Over)Reactions

I had almost come to terms with how upset I would be losing to a Washington State team, that...
Free-throw woes undermine Cougs -- again
PULLMAN -- Heartbreaking doesn’t even begin to describe this one. But perhaps no one feels worse than sophomore forward Patrick Simon. His shot at a go-ahead 3-pointer did not even hit the rim, but coach Ken Bone said there was no issue with Simon taking that shot. But it might not have mattered if the Cougars made their free throws during a 59-55 loss Saturday against Washington at Friel Court.
The Streak Continues

Actually, I'm told the game was played inside and there is no such theory. At...
Low Post Help En Route
Happy Tuesday to you Cougar Nation!Hopefully your Tuesday hasn't been spent shoveling snow and scraping your windshield, but boy is it sure chilly and icy here in western Washington. Sort of like the Cougars shooting towards the end of the game on Sunday, huh? I'd say that's an apt metaphore.
It didn't take a genius to figure out why we were beaten at UW. We were...
