It's back for the summer of 2012! Each Friday the Crimson ZZU will feature a photo for 'Photo Friday' as a way to look back at the 2011-12 season and the history of Cougar Basketball and to help count down the days to next season. The photos will range from fun to serious to spectacular and more.

With this week's announcement of WSU's opponent for the 2012 Cougar Hardwood Classic, we've chosen a photo from last season's CHC. Shortly after the announcement of his hiring, Dec. 6, head football coach Mike Leach was introduced and addressed the crowd at KeyArena, Dec. 22. This photo was taken right before Leach spoke to the enthusiastic crowd, which ecstatically applauded the new Cougar.
