| The Washington State baseball team lost the opening game of their three-game series on the road against Wichita State, only to then sit at their hotel and watch the snow fall for two straight days, cancelling the remaining two games.

| Head coach Ken Bone and his Washington State basketball team saw their season come to an agonizing end at the free throw line in an overtime loss to the Oregon Ducks in the first round of the Pac-10 conference tournament at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, 82-80.
