It was truly a weekend of pain for WSU men’s basketball.

In one of the most anticipated games in Beasley Coliseum in years, the Washington State Cougars laid an absolute dud against the Gonzaga Bulldogs in front of a sold-out crowd, losing by 21 last Wednesday. Not to be outdone — and proving there is actually no floor — they then went out to Beasley again on Saturday and turned in an even worse performance against Santa Clara, losing by 30.

Getting outscored by 51 on your home floor in consecutive games doesn’t leave podcasters a whole lot to talk about.

And frankly, it’s the kind of stuff that gets coaches fired. Sooooo …….

Should we start having a conversation about David Riley? Even though he’s not even done with his first season?

That’s where we kick off the show this week.
