IN THE TWITTERVERSE
This is one of the reasons I started going to @WSUWomensHoops games. Because the coaches and players asked ME to come to their games. I felt needed and from then on I didn't miss any home games in my four years. @CoachKentWSU is asking YOU to come to games. So go! #GoCougs https://t.co/CxmdcXaDdh
