Ferdinand’s ice cream takes the cake FROM STAFF REPORTS Cougar basketball The WSU Dairy Club hopes to bring in new members by winning a national competition to face Hawaii in Hardwood Classic The Cougar Hardwood Classic will return Dec. 13 this year at the KeyArena of Seattle, where the WSU men’s basketball team will play Hawaii. This will be the ninth Cougar Hardwood Classic in 10 years. Last year venue conflicts led to the cancellation of the event. The first Cougar Hardwood Classic took place in 2005 when WSU played Utah. WSU has an undefeated record of 8-0 in the event. WSU and Hawaii will face off for the seventh time this year. The last time the two teams met was in 1991 at the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu. The Cougars have an advantage of 5-1 in the all-time series with the Warriors and have won their last four matchups. WSU has been defeated just once in the series, a 47-45 setback which took place in 1953 in Pullman. Tickets will go on sale Sept. 5.
