This morning ESPN’s Andy Katz’s quick hitters included notes on both teams in Cougar Hardwood Classic presented by Seattlepi.com.

“• Seriously, I would not be surprised if Washington State won the Pac-10. Washington and Cal should win the league but there is no reason to have complete faith in either one of those squads. No one in the league has been as dominant as Klay Thompson at Wazzu.

• Tasmin Mitchell came back to LSU for his senior season to be a leader and a productive player. He hasn’t disappointed. Mitchell has been Mr. Everything and so far, averaging nearly 17 points and almost nine boards a game for the Tigers. He had a 24-point and 18-rebound game for the Tigers against SE Louisiana.”
