Duquesne came to Pullman. The Cougs handled business. Go Cougs
Duquesne came to Pullman, and the Cougs took care of what was in front of them. That is the kind of weekend you want. No drama. No letting a non-conference opponent hang around long enough to get ideas. The Dukes left town with an L, and the Cougs left the weekend with a clean sheet and a little more belief in what they are building.
It is early, sure. But there is something to be said for handling business the way you are supposed to. You do not get style points for beating a team you should beat, but you can lose a lot of ground by tripping over one. The Cougs did not trip. They showed up, did the work, and moved on.
For a deeper look at how it all came together, go check out "Chris King called it and the Cougs made it happen twice." That piece walks through the kind of execution that turns a routine win into a statement. And if you want the finer details from the scout's notebook, "A few things stood out in the notes from Duquesne" is worth your time.
The Barb Chandler Classic is in the books. The Cougs closed it out. Now you know what to tell your friend when they ask how the weekend went: the Cougs handled business. Go Cougs.
