The Legend of Dick Bennett Rides AGAIN!!! I've been saying, watch out for the Cougs. Obviously I like them because Bennett used to coach 'em, but these kids play tough, smart ball, and they're getting better. Derrick Lowe is legit - he can shoot the rock. I like Cowgill and that Chris Henry, too, that guys' got a big frame and can bang. Great win! And congrats to the COUGS!
The Cougs are fundamentally sound and don't beat themselves. They force you to beat them from the perimeter, and when your shots aren't falling from the outside the Cougs are tough to beat. They play slowed down, grind it out basketball, so you have to take advantage of every possession. Gonzaga was inexperienced with this type of basketball and couldn't make the 2nd half adjustments to hold on and win the game.
<div class="quote_poster">Casual Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Cougs suck.</div> Agreed. They play a good style of basketball thats different from typical Pac-10 teams which works in their advantage usually. But they are still the Washington State Cougars so they lose at life.
