Not according to the people who matter! Namely those who run the PAC-10 Conference.

Disputed foul in Oregon game will stand
Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. -- A controversial technical foul that cost
Washington State a basketball victory over
Oregon will not be overturned.
WSU athletic director Jim Sterk said
a review of the call by the Pacific-10 Conference concluded the foul call was correct and Oregon's win would stand.
Washington State appeared to have won the Dec. 31 game in Pullman when they scored with 0.3 of a second left in the first overtime, and several WSU bench players and at least one fan stepped onto the court.
The game officials ruled that stepping onto the court prevented continuous play, and awarded Oregon a technical foul and two free throws. The free throws tied the game and the Ducks won in the second overtime.
Sterk said the Cougars have no other recourse.
