The Whitman Men's Basketball team started the second round of conference play off strong with a 78-69 win over Pacific University. Along with the win, Whitman welcomed back senior forward Ben Eisenhardt, who appeared in his first game since sustaining an injury in November 2013.

In the first meeting for the Whitman men’s basketball team with that school up north, Whitworth, the rivalry upheld its growing reputation as one of the most exciting in Division-III sports. In what seems to be a trend between these two teams, the last few plays of the game Tuesday night were the deciding factor in the result, ending in an 84-80 loss for the Missionaries. With the loss Whitman drops to 5-2 and third in the Northwest Conference.
