The Cougars earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with the win.
The Washington State women’s basketball team made history with its Pac-12 tournament title on Sunday by defeating No. 16 UCLA, 65–61.
For starters, it was the first conference championship game for the school’s women’s team. The Cougars also became the first No. 7 team to reach the championship game in Pac-12 history. 
The Washington State men’s team has won a conference title before—but it was 82 years ago—during the 1940–41 season. So, the women’s team ended a long drought for the school on Sunday.

SI Fantasy’s Jen Piacenti had the 12th pick in this experts league. Here’s how she made out.
The Tout Wars 12-team roto league had its annual draft last week and I was fortunate to participate for the third year. This experts league was founded in 1997 by Ron Shandler and was the subject of the book, Fantasyland.
We were able to choose our draft spots via KDS, and I chose to pick 12th. As I mentioned in my first-round breakdown, I really like the possibilities this year of what I can build from that spot.

There is only one Shohei Ohtani when it comes to multiplicity of greatness, but what Betts is doing deserves its own measure of wonder.
The Dodgers’ morning workout and B-squad game ended, leaving players to down time in the clubhouse to attend to lunch, treatment, their phone, Ping-Pong games or other diversions. One player remained on a back field, working up a sweat on double play pivots with infield coaches Chris Gutierrez, Dino Ebel and Chris Woodward.
This was no kid trying to make the team.

The Boilermakers center reminded fans just how tall he really is.
Purdue basketball star Zach Edey reminded fans just how tall he really is Sunday.
After Purdue won the Big Ten regular-season title, the 7’4” center went to cut down a portion of the net to celebrate the Boilermakers’ feat.
There was a ladder near the hoop for team members to use, but Edey pushed it aside. He was able to reach the net without even leaning forward on his tiptoes.
Edey walked away laughing after cutting the net, as he probably guessed he surprised some fans by reaching the net without assistance.
