Thursday evening, the Washington State Cougars (14-1) will play host to the Oregon State Beavers (6-10). It will be the first conference home game for the Cougs this season, who are coming off their first loss of the year. WSU dropped down in the national rankings to #8 in the polls. UCLA took over the Cougs former spot at #4 after their victory over WSU.

So what should Coach Tony Bennett and the Cougs expect when they take the court Thursday? The Beavers will charge onto Friel Court hungry for their first conference win. OSU men’s basketball has turned into the PAC-10 equivalent to Rodney Dangerfield. That’s a role the Cougs should understand because that’s where they were just two years ago. Even last season, WSU entered their schedule being tabbed as a “scrappy” bunch of “nice” kids. That was a tag they were still bearing at PAC-10 tournament time. Oh what a difference a year can make. Point here is that the Beavers have some talented players and a very good coach in Jay John
