The Washington State Cougars are absolutely rolling through their men’s basketball season, having picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday night with a fairly easy win over Cal in their return to Pullman after a three-game road swing that resulted in wins over Washington, Oregon State, and Oregon.

As usual, Kyle Smith and his merry band of Wheatfield Underdogs absolutely own the PNW.

And yet, there was a bit of trepidation coming back to Beasley to face the Golden Bears, who are well coached, play hard, and feature one of Those Dudes with Jaylon Tyson. It was Tyson who was largely responsible for WSU’s last loss, going off in the final few minutes in Berkeley.

The Cougs made sure there was none of that drama this time. Really, this was utter domination. And we broke it down.

Other topics of discussion

• Men’s basketball: After we finished talking about Cal, we looked ahead to Stanford. A reasonably talented, but deeply flawed team that isn’t particularly well coached and doesn’t match up real great with WSU.

• Drinks: Jeff — Vodka with Topo Chico Twist of Lime soda; Craig — Household Gods (Otherlands).

• Women’s basketball: More losses. Sigh.
