Boenning's final round pushes Cougs to seventh in Coeur d'Alene
Boenning's final round was the kind of finish that makes you glad you stayed up for it. The Cougs climbed to seventh place at the Coeur d'Alene tournament, and if you watched how Boenning closed things out, you saw a golfer who didn't just play the course, he attacked it. Seventh isn't a trophy, but it's a step. And on a leaderboard that packed some serious competition, the Cougs held their ground when it mattered. That's the kind of grit we've been seeing across the board lately. If you missed our piece on the Oregon State game, "Cougs take Oregon State to the edge but can't close it out," you saw the same fight, just a different result. That one stung. This one feels a little better. Both tell you something about this team: they don't fold easy. Pullman doesn't get a lot of golf headlines, but Coeur d'Alene is close enough to feel like home turf. And when a Coug plays that well in a tight field, it's worth a mention. No hype. Just respect for a round that moved the needle. Go Cougs.
WSU hoops packs the bags, heads north to Coeur d'Alene
The Cougar men's basketball team is packing the bags and heading north to Coeur d'Alene.

WSU hoops is hitting the road for a tournament that feels like a home game without the home crowd pressure. Coeur d'Alene is close enough that some Cougs might just make the drive, but far enough that the team can lock in without distraction. We've been tracking this run.

We're not predicting fireworks, but we're not counting them out either. Pack the bags, Cougs. Coeur d'Alene won't know what hit it. Go Cougs.
Cougs sit pretty heading into Coeur d'Alene's third round
The Cougs are sitting pretty heading into the third round in Coeur d'Alene. That's not a bad place to be. Idaho in the fall is a good look, and apparently, so is Washington State on the leaderboard. You don't get to "sit pretty" without earning it, and this team has put in the work to put themselves in position. We like that. It's been a solid stretch for Cougar golf.

Boenning pushed the Cougs to seventh last time out, and that kind of finish shows depth. You need more than one hot club to make noise in a tournament. This group looks like they've got a few. So here we are. Third round. The Palouse is a long way from the pine trees up north, but the Cougs seem right at home. Keep the foot down. Don't get cute. Just play your game. Go Cougs.
