ZZU CRU The ZZU CRU is the official student fan club for WSU Basketball. The $10 membership fee gives students exclusive access to prime seating at games, contests, meetings with the teams, store discounts, and early entry into the arena. The lower section of the arena, where the ZZU CRU sits, is called The Cage. ZZU CRU members are given a t-shirt and other prizes throughout the season. Members get points by attending games and other basketball functions. At the end of the season, those with more points get better prize packages, including clothing and sports equipment. The top 10 members are entered into a drawing to receive two basketball tickets to the Pac-10 Tournament. In the 2007-2008 season, should the Cougars repeat in the NCAA Tournament, the top 25 members will each receive two tickets to the tournament.
Victory Bell In the late 1800s the bell was mounted on the ground in the center of campus to start and dismiss class. Later, it was placed on top of Old College Hall when automatic bells were used, and then on Bryan Hall. The bell was first rung in victory after WSU beat the Washington Huskies by the women's basketball team in 1902. Later, the members of the Intercollegiate Knights rang the bell following a football win. It was subsequently moved to the present College Hall, and now rests on the west side of the Alumni Centre where it is rung by the Student Alumni Connection after each football win.
