Bill Walton’s final Pac-12 broadcast was Washington State vs. Oregon

UCLA legend Bill Walton passed away on Memorial Day after a battle with cancer. It was heartbreaking news for a wonderful athlete and broadcaster, and the memories of Walton will live on forever.

We have remembered his playing days at UCLA as well as some of the best moments from Walton’s career as a broadcaster. With the Pac-12 Conference fading away, the final game Bill Walton ever called turned out to be Washington State vs. Oregon on February 10, and it surfaced after the news of Walton’s passing.

This was the last broadcast Bill Walton ever did:

Washington State-Oregon on Feb. 10.

I never would have known anything was wrong.

What a total gut punch. pic.twitter.com/4BOf9groZ0

Last one. He was always my favorite college bball announcer. Just brought a unique perspective to the broadcast that can never be duplicated. https://t.co/8Xn67e7NsL

Love how @tedjrobinson can ask an 8-second question and Bill Walton can wax poetic on the Pac-12 standings: https://t.co/afMGMHkc5V

I didn’t know when his last broadcast was, apparently it was in Feb; I didn’t see this game, but now I wish I did, just to hear him say “throw it down, big man” one more time 😢 https://t.co/XFkqbu8G4q

Glad it was with Ted Robinson. Those broadcasts were more purely joyful than the sometimes contrived friction from Dave Pasch. https://t.co/PPxyj3I3SH

It didn't matter what teams were playing. If Bill Walton was calling it, it was worth watching. https://t.co/TLo6itw5eO

Bill had a passion for the Pac 10 period. def RIP Bill Walton! This def. a terrible day in basketball today. We need to do more research on cancer period. Bill Walton was in really good shape but when you get cancer it takes you down in a min. https://t.co/qaBHJYmcKK

I loved catching a Bill Walton broadcast. Being from the south, it was a rare exception, but he was truly one of a kind and we are all worse off for his passing. RIP Bill Walton, you will be sorely missed. https://t.co/TKJBnzPSy5
