When Noah Williams announced last April that he was transferring away from Washington State after three years in Pullman, it wasn’t exactly a shock.When Williams announced less than a week later that he was heading back to his hometown to play for the Washington Huskies, it was ... a bit more surprising.Now, Williams returns to town for the first time since making the move as the Huskies clash with the Cougs on Saturday in Pullman.The move to Seattle definitely hasn’t gone as Williams envisioned. An injury in his first game that caused him to miss nearly two months. Inconsistent play since returning. Getting benched last weekend at UCLA for a “coach’s decision.” Scoring two points and committing four fouls in 18 minutes on Sunday in a six-point loss to USC.But if there’s one thing we know about Williams, it’s that he lives for moments like this: Taking the court against a team that he’ll be desperate to prove wrong. He did it for years against the team he now plays for, famously shouting “THIS IS MY CITY” when the Cougs beat the Huskies in Seattle in his freshman season. The environment is sure to be hostile at Beasley Coliseum. Chants of WA-ZZU RE-JECT are likely to reign down from the student section.For his part, WSU coach Kyle Smith is being diplomatic about it — speaking on his coach’s show this week, Smith credited Williams for his accountability during his departure, but you also don’t have to read too far between the lines to conclude that Williams had been a destructive force in the locker room and might have been asked to leave, anyway.Oh, and by the way: Both teams really need a victory, having lost nine of their last 11 games combined.It sets up a fascinating dynamic. How are you feeling about Williams’ return? How should he be received? What should we expect? We’ve got thoughts.Music by Randy England.

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. It was the first time the Cougar women have won two games against ranked opponents on the road -- just another feather in Kamie Ethridge's cap.Music by Randy England.

We were hoping for a split on the road for men's basketball, but the mountain trip proved perilous -- as usual -- and the Cougs returned to Pullman without a victory. What does it mean for the rest of the season? Then, we talk women's hoops' equally rough weekend. How will the NCAA committee weight the absence of Charlisse Leger-Walker?Music by Randy England.

The Cougars pulled off a stunning win over No. 5 Arizona on Saturday, but perhaps we shouldn't have been super surprised: WSU clearly had been turning a corner, and the win over the Wildcats was the capper.

Former WSU coach Mike Leach, who did so much for the program over his eight seasons in charge, died on Tuesday at age 61. It's a sad day, so we mourn a little, but mostly we remembered the good times that he gave us -- and there were A LOT of good times. Then, we preview the LA Bowl against Fresno State before talking men's and women's hoops.Music by Randy England.
