glduck Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 From what I’ve seen, their frontcourt talent far outweighs their talent in the backcourt. When their guards are able to provide enough support by knocking down 3’s, they’re very tough to beat. They did that against us, and last night vs Kansas. But they’ve had some clunkers along the way. We’ll see who shows up Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYU is a slow, unathletic team that lives or dies by the 3. Honestly, NIT worthy, IMO. They’re famous for cupcake 20 win seasons and getting bounced in the first round by any team with decent athletes. BYU’s best wins this season were SDSU and USU and we saw what happened to those teams. But I agree 100% on USC and they destroyed BYU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette is a great landing pad, a place where he can be successful and reach the top. Heading to The Pit was a waystop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mano Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Fugly game so far, but the Beavers pulling away a little in last couple minutes of the half for an 8 point lead. Multiple Pac teams in Elite 8/Final Four would be awesome. Go Beavs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-utes/2021/03/27/university-utah-hires/ In other news, the Ute's hire Utah State's coach Craig Smith. I'm not super excited about the hire, but hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 One of the worst halvea I've seen offensively but a kot of that is the Beavs defense. Wonder if Moser is already thinking of his next gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUGRDON Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Despite the bad turnover with @ a minute left, Beavs handled the pressure really well and before today thought that was their kryptonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 One of the most surreal Pac-12 runs I can remember. If UCLA doesn’t turn it over on a late 4-on-1 break, Oregon State’s season is likely finished on Thursday in Vegas. Now they’re knocking on the door of the Final Four. I am in awe.

I’m not sure how OSU fans rank their seasons but this year would rank at the top ever for me. They had a final 4 run in 1963 but who was alive to see that? They were picked to finish last in the conference, knocked off some really good teams and have a legit shot at the final 4. Very impressed.
