one game at a time. Long Beach State will be another step up the ladder if they can get it. Not sure what "step" you may be referring to, but... and 5 games is a very very small sample size... LBSt (rated about #198/353) is NOT a Pac12 level team (UCLA and ASU beat them by a combined 43 at home... OSU, Furd, and SC also on the road later)... only W's are vs Iona and Menlo... not considered "better" than Missouri (#84), ODU (#100), Penn (#141) Wyoming (#190)... only UC Riverside rated below them at #315. LBSt has played a tougher schedule (#13 vs #201) than OSU (rated #75) to go 2-3 ... gets more possessions/40 min (75 vs 68). Glad this one is at home, but this should be a W... LBSt averaging 20 turns a game (almost every player has more TOs than A), shoots 40%, and gives up 80 pts/g. Scariest stat to me... OSU is ranked #328/353 in the # of possessions per 40 minutes. When you are getting a low number of possessions the margin for error is very slim. Taking care of the ball and shooting percentage (FG and FT) are vital for success. so if a win over Long Beach State occurs, this is not a step forward? Lateral move perhaps? Sure it's a little too sweet like a cupcake but if it's a win it's 5-1. That's better than 4-1. Since Kansas state went on to paste Missouri for the Paradise Jam trophy that makes the beavs 2 degrees removed from being a legit NCAA team. The long beach states have to be abided, dude. |

Would not complain about a W/5-1... I have a feeling this team needs every W to even be considered for an NIT berth unless they are top 4 in Pac12 (which probably take 12 wins, meaning a 20+ win total). I was simply saying this program has been decent vs this type of competition since CR, but has not translated to much when it counts. In some respects the Missouri loss on a neutral court might mean more in terms of Pac12 play than a home win vs LBSt. |

Guess I was hoping to get out the house/away from relatives Sunday! |

It appears from the schedule on the Beavers' website that the game won't be telecast. That sucks.

The Tinkle Road Warriors are now 4-2 in their last 6 games away from Gill. Yeah 3 of those wins were neutral courts but its still THE ROAD. |
