The lowdown
2000-01 record: 12-16; 5-13 in Pac-10 (t6th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None.
Three Questions for 2001-02
1. Mike Bush returns in time to be the Cougars' top scorer again? Bush's flirtation with football can't end soon enough for the basketball team.
2. Can Marcus Moore once again be an impact player for the Cougars, giving Washington State a tough to defend wing/playmaker?
3. Can J Locklier be the top scorer in the post? Will he get help? If so, from where?
Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: The Cougars finish in the top seven and get to the NIT.
Worst case: Washington State battles its in-state rival Huskies for last place.
