A shooting guard who originally signed with Kansas was on campus this weekend, as was James Watson. The former Cougar forward's visit, however, was purely social. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1069239.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1069239.html Mon, 02 May 2011 15:09:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE WAS already thin down on the blocks, but they just got a whole thinner. James Watson, an up-and-coming forward with a physical component to his game, has left Washington State due to academic ineligibility and transferred to a junior college in Kansas, his mom told CF.C today. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/975519.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/975519.html Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:29:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate BELLEVUE -- Cougar basketball coach Ken Bone attended the Cougar Golf Classic and expressed excitement about Bill Moos being the new leader of the athletic department. He also told CF.C that talk about DeAngelo Casto being in academic trouble was untrue, but that another post player will need summer school in order to remain eligible. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/970033.html 2047 JIM MOORE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/970033.html Fri, 14 May 2010 17:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Senior Night ceremonies should be short and sweet Saturday night at Friel Court. After all, Nikola Koprivica is the lone senior on the Washington State basketball team. It is somewhat amazing that Koprivica played four years at Washington State. In fact, it is somewhat amazing that Koprivica played one year at Washington State. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/948193.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/948193.html Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:34:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate DeANGELO CASTO was the player of the game, scoring 19 points, pulling down nine rebounds and blocking three shots, but the story line Saturday in Washington State’s resounding 78-60 basketball win over Arizona pointed to the WSU bench. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/944660.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/944660.html Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:16:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- James Watson spent the first seven years of his life exposed on a daily basis to the living hell that his mother’s life had become due to drug abuse. Seven years later, following countless stops in foster homes after he and his three siblings were taken away from their mother, Watson was adopted. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/941517.html 2047 HOWIE STAWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/941517.html Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:26:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Ken Bone wasn’t going to have any of it. “It won’t work!” the Cougar head coach told his players at practice Tuesday during transition drills in which running gave way to jogging after four minutes. Translation: The lightning-quick Cal Bears are coming to town and that means getting back in transition at a pace that is anything less than full speed will be deadly. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/937381.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/937381.html Wed, 13 Jan 2010 07:57:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate KEN BONE IS a basketball lifer, but his disposition would have been perfect for baseball. The nature of baseball, with its long seasons and day-after-day schedule of games demands that players, managers and coaches limit emotional highs and lows for the most part. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/937189.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/937189.html Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:16:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate COUGAR HEAD COACH Ken Bone summed it up well Saturday after his team pulled out a 65-60 nailbiter over Oregon State. "This one is sweet," he said, alluding not only to the fact it was his first conference victory as WSU's coach but also a little redemption for the controversial, double-overtime loss to Oregon on Thursday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/934418.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/934418.html Sun, 03 Jan 2010 02:13:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE COACH Ken Bone is happy to be incorrect in one regard. While he feels the Cougars are about where he anticipated in terms of development and adjusting to his coaching staff, he did not foresee them completing the non-conference schedule with a 10-2 record. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/933041.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/933041.html Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:44:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate KENNEWICK -- When Tony Bennett abruptly resigned at Washington State last spring to become the new basketball coach at Virginia, and Ken Bone was named to succeed him, Nikola Koprivica may have been the happiest person in Pullman. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/930746.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/930746.html Sun, 20 Dec 2009 06:21:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE AND Klay Thompson look awfully good so far, but looks can be deceiving. Who says? The Cougars' head man Ken Bone, that’s who. That, plus a host of other crimson news and notes from in and around the Wazzu world of hoops. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/930017.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/930017.html Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:05:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – DeAngelo Casto is looking good. If there are lingering effects from the knee injury the sophomore Cougar post man suffered over the summer they weren’t apparent in Washington State's series of scrimmages Wednesday. Casto dominated in the low post and showed off some nifty new moves. And that was just the start of an illuminating day on the crimson hardwood. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/916419.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/916419.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:28:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate CONVENTIONAL WISDOM would dictate that an assessment of the returning players on Washington State’s basketball team begin with Klay Thompson and DeAngelo Casto. After all, these two super-talented sophomores figure to be the cornerstones of the 2009-10 Cougars. But that’s not where I’m going to begin my analysis. Nope, I’m starting with the tall timber. Cougar Nation, please meet Charlie Enquist. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/909498.html 2047 DAVEN HARMELING http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/909498.html Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:36:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State’s basketball opener is five weeks away, and Ken Bone is getting a bit antsy about the absence of three players he’s counting on during his first season as the Cougars’ basketball coach. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/907063.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/907063.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:48:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate BEFORE THE COACHING change, the most pressing question among Cougar basketball fans looking to next season was this: How is WSU going to fill the post without 6-10, 260-pound Aron Baynes? The answer is fairly clear. Not having that big body means adjusting the offense and defense. But what the Cougs lose in mass, intimidation and presence could be made up for in mobility. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/850836.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/850836.html Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:36:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate FARLEIGH DICKINSON U. is coming to Friel Court tonight, but my mind is still on Mississippi Valley State. Aside from the lopsided score, two things popped out from the box score of the Cougar basketball team’s season opener Saturday. First was the shot-blocking of freshman DeAngelo Casto. Second was the fact two fellow rookies, Michael Harthun and James Watson, didn't play in the 51-point blowout. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/812781.html 2047 PAT MITCHELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/812781.html Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:12:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State basketball coach Tony Bennett has 10 players on the team who have never played a minute of college basketball. So when the whistle sounded the other day starting formal practices, not a moment was wasted. The Cougfan.com camera lens was there to glimpse the intensity, as well as the plethora of new faces. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/802667.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/802667.html Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:25:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE OLD BROMIDE is that the jump from high school ball to college is as severe as the move from college ball to the pros. But one wonders if Tony Bennett’s incoming class of freshmen realizes just how steep their climb is going to be. Because when basketball conditioning commences with the start of school in August, one of the first stops on the itinerary will be the slope at Sunnyside Park. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/756569.html 2047 PAT MITCHELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/756569.html Tue, 27 May 2008 13:41:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate A QUICK LOOK AT THE Cougar stat book this year vs. last shows remarkable consistency. The numbers for points, rebounds, assists and turnovers were either exactly the same or very close to it. One area, however, didn’t match up. And Ivory Clark fans know it. We asked WSU assistant coach Ben Johnson how that void might be filled next season. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/742914.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/742914.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:50:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
