JFC. Hawkins nearly airballs a running hook on the right block, then picks up a frustration foul at mid-court, that sends us to the last media break of the evening.

It's 71-60 WSU with 3:39 remaining.

Four Shockers in double figures, led by Xavier Bell's 17.

I lucked into teaching an upper-division/graduate course Cultural Theory in the WSU Dept of Anthropology, and today we're reading an excerpt from Michael Taussig's "Mimesis and Alterity." I feel like my whole past of writing on Rene Girard and teaching on Walter Benjamin has led up to this moment.
