Today my brother, Christina and I went to basketball practice. Nick was there, too, but that’s because it is his job as a Cougar sports reporter. And I was slightly jealous that he is on salary to do what was for me the most leisurely thing I’ve done all week. My brother and I got to talk to Coach Tony Bennett for a bit after practice ended, and he told Mark he ought to consider WSU. I admit I was pretty pleased and impressed.

It has been one of Christina’s lifelong goals (since earlier this season) to stand next to center Aron Baynes to see how tall he is. Today her dream came true, and the results were as comical as we had hoped. Coach Tony told Christina she’s no worse off than Muggsy Bogues.
