The Wildcats typically arrive 90 to 105 minutes before a road game, but will arrive an extra half-hour earlier to WSU’s Beasley Coliseum.
The early arrival allows them extra time to stretch their legs after the bus ride and get taped in the locker room by athletic trainer Justin Kokoskie.
“If we go to Washington and we’re in Seattle, our guys get taped at the hotel,” Reynolds says. “But on the Washington State trip, we don’t get taped at the hotel and we don’t change until we get down there. So there’s more to do in the arena. It’s going to take Justin 10 or 20 minutes to tape everyone because he’s the only one doing it.”
