The Washington State Cougars have had a strong season in the Pac-12 as they sit one game behind Arizona for the league lead. Coach Smith and I talk about the Cougs’ trips into Arizona State last week as well as look at the two home matchups with USC and USC at the end of this week. WSU features a big lineup with Isaac Jones in the middle and Myles Rice, Jaylen Wells, and Andrej Jakimovski as consistent three-point producers.

Topics of discussion include:

• Last week’s trip to Arizona as well as checking out UCLA and USC in the Palouse this weekend
• The inside play of leading scorer Isaac Jones
• On the perimeter with Myles Rice and Jaylen Wells
• Coach Smith’s hopes of capturing third base in Houston as a senior in high school and an Astros fan
