A 3-minute listener update on Podcast Vs. Everyone

As we've talked about, SB Nation has cut off support for the podcasts at CougCenter. What does that mean for you? You're going to need to set up a new subscription on your favorite podcast service.

PAC-12 CHAMPS!! - Podcast Vs. Everyone (191)

Don't forget: SB Nation is cutting off support for the podcast. But we're not going anywhere! To continue to get our work, the best thing is to subscribe to our newsletter at podcastvseveryone.substack.com. You'll get the podcast and ALSO get some writing from us. The WSU women's basketball team has done what once was thought to be impossible: Win a Pac-12 championship thanks to a 65-61 win over UCLA in Las Vegas. Let's celebrate. Then, let's turn our attention to the men, who beat UW handily in Seattle and are heading into their own conference tournament riding a six-game win streak -- and seeded fifth.

Surging toward the postseason - Podcast Vs. Everyone (190)

Don't forget: SB Nation is cutting off support for the podcast. But we're not going anywhere! To continue to get our work, the best thing is to subscribe to our newsletter at podcastvseveryone.substack.com. You'll get the podcast and ALSO get some writing from us. Wins against Stanford and Cal have given the WSU men five wins "on the trot," as we say in soccer -- and it's propelled the Cougs into sixth place, with an eye on potentially securing the No. 5 seed in the Pac-12 tournament -- and maybe another appearance in the NIT. But they'll need a victory over Washington in the season finale first. And we make some time to appreciate Mouhamed Gueye. Then we celebrate the women accomplishing yet another first this season -- beating UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. We also save some time for complaining about the officiating in the loss to USC, though. Plus, just a little baseball talk. Music by Randy England. You can find more of his work on Instagram. Subscribe to us on ... iTunes Google Play Spotify Stitcher Learn more about your ad choices.

When ugly is beautiful - Podcast Vs. Everyone (189)

Don't forget: SB Nation is cutting off support for the podcast. To continue to get our work, the best thing is to subscribe to our newsletter at podcastvseveryone.substack.com. You'll get the podcast and ALSO get some writing from us! The Cougs welcomed the Washington Huskies (and former teammate Noah Williams!) to Pullman over the weekend, and they emerged with yet another victory over their rivals -- their fifth in the last seven meetings. The offense was ugly, but was it bad? Jeff talks it over with CougCenter's Bryce Hendricks since Craig is still in Costa Rica. Plus, we have thoughts on Noah's return before turning our attention to this weekend, as Oregon State and Oregon come to town. And finally, should we be concerned about the trajectory of the women's team? They're also playing the Oregons this weekend, and it has potentially big implications for their postseason fate.

Suck on that, Bobby Hurley! - Podcast Vs. Everyone (187)

It was a killer weekend for WSU basketball, where the Cougs won three of four against the Arizona schools, capped by the women knocking off the ranked Wildcats in Tucson.

The mountains win *again* - Podcast Vs. Everyone (186)

One for the haters! - Podcast Vs. Everyone (185)

Former WSU coach Mike Leach, who did so much for the program over his eight seasons in charge, died on Tuesday at age 61.

Podcast Vs. Everyone 178: Forecasting the Cougs' stretch run

Podcast Vs. Everyone 174: HOW ARE WE NOT RANKED?!?

Podcast Vs. Everyone 160: It's Apple Cup time!

These last couple of weeks have been real rough for the men's basketball team at WSU, but a lot of it will be forgotten if the next week goes real well. The Cougs take on the Washington Huskies twice (and Oregon State once), and if they can take it to their rivals, that will go a long way with fans. The big story of the week, however, was the women, who picked up a huge win over another bubble team and then picked up an even bigger win with an upset over the No. 8 Arizona Wildcats. They probably secured their ticket to the Big Dance -- it'll be the first back-to-back appearances Music by Randy England. You can find more of his work on Instagram.
