PULLMAN, Wash. - Myles Rice, a freshman guard who just had a breakout season with the Washington State Cougars, plans on entering the transfer portal.

At 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, Tamara Rice boarded a cross-country flight for an opportunity that a year ago was not guaranteed.

In addition to Rice, WSU forward Kymany Houinsou also made a social media post to announce his departure.
It's unknown where Rice or Houinsou plan to play next.
