Three hours before Midnight Mayhem Friday, the Washington State University men's basketball team took to the hardwood in its newly redesigned practice gym for its first official practice of the 2011-12 season. The squad has a slightly different look with the departures of two starters, Klay Thompson and DeAngelo Casto, whom each left a year early to pursue professional basketball careers. However, third-year head coach Ken Bone and his staff had their squad, along with three returning starters, focused and ready for the new season. Check out some more photos from the first practice, along with the photo gallery linked to this blog post.
