It looks like the Cougs might have to go without key cog Cedric Coward (17.7 ppg), dealing with a reported shoulder injury that kept him out of last night's win over Fresno in Palm Springs. No matter, Wazzu still hit 16 triples last night vs. the Bulldogs to pull clear in the second half, albeit letting a spread W slip away in the last two minutes. Still, even if minus Coward again, Riley has five other DD scorers, including another transfer, ex-U-Dub G Nate Calmese, scoring at 17.9 ppg and good for 22 points last night. SMU was fortunate to escape vs. Cal Baptist on Tuesday and is leaning hard on Wake Forest transfer G Boopie Miller (17.1 ppg), Play WSU (at Palm Springs)
