Anything’s possible but it doesn’t take a party for a BBALL team to go cold for a night. Jaki doesn’t strike me as the kind of dude that goes beer bonging after a game and he couldn’t hit shit.
I'm not sure it's even possible.
Chaz the radio announcer and Smith in a past radio interview talked about HOW VERY RELIGOUS about 4,5,6 of the MAIN players ARE.
They talked about how those players are almost always have scripture study sessions, groups, prayer sessions, groups, together, having a pastor, preacher meeting with the regularly, going to church together a lot.
Chaz says that when he has been in the locker rooms, that he has seen that a lot, and Smith also confirmed that.
People that are that devout, RELIGOUS, USUALLY don't go out BOOZIN after a Arizona win. They might have a drink, but they usually are in control, in moderation, etc.
Wells, Jones, Rice are 3 of the 4,5,6 that are in that group, are RELIGOUS, etc.
Also because of Rice's very devout religiousness, and with his mother living in Pullman, and how WSU stuck by him, didn't kick him to curb, like other programs would have, and with how much Rice loves WSU, his fellow players, his coach, etc, that he either might semi probably stay, or at least try to stay.
Wells is in the same camp. Wells, Rice, might probably stay IF Smith stays at WSU, IF the other player(Rice or Wells), stays at WSU, and IF WSU gives them even the TINIEST of NIL. Even if WSU can't give Big time NIL like Other colleges, even if WSU only gives a crumbs, TINY NIL, at least Wells, Rice would know WSU cares, is trying, and that combined with the other stuff might be enough to cause Rice, Wells to stay.
That said, it's just not bloody damn likely, even possible, etc, that the team went BOOZIN.
1 player could maybe do that, but not either the whole team, or even most of the team.
Also while Smith doesn't micromanage, it's probably a team rule that no BOOZIN, PARTYING, ETC, allowed after a game, etc.
If a player, or team were to go BOOZIN Hardcore, Smith would probably hear, find out about it, and would probably dish out penalties accordingly.
So because of that it's not likely and probably not possible that the team, main players, etc, went BOOZIN, etc.
