GT ArticleEthan Thompson was excited and full of anticipation when he learned during the offseason that the duties as Oregon State’s point guard would be his. It’s going to be different than last year, which in his true freshman season with the Beavers he played both guard positions while working through the transition into Division I basketball. But Thompson believes he’s ready and able to take on a bigger role and become a more vocal leader of a team aiming for a postseason berth. “I feel comfortable doing it,” he said. “I like playing with the ball in my hands, as well as off the ball.”

Our best point guards played defense. No mention of D in the article.

Considering last year we were second in the conference in scoring defense and this is the deepest team Tinkle's had here, I'm not sure defense a huge worry just yet. They should do just fine.

Considering last year we were second in the conference in scoring defense and this is the deepest team Tinkle's had here, I'm not sure defense a huge worry just yet. They should do just fine. So... 2nd in scoring D yet one of only 3 teams in the league without a winning record despite a weak NC schedule. The Pac12 had 8 teams with 20 wins or more in a down year. Why is OSU lacking? 10th in scoring... 11th in 3pt %... yet 3rd in FG % but took 18 threes a game anyway. So... about 32.7% of our shots were 3's... shoot 32.9%... look they match! Wait... Yet we were at 53.5% on other shots! Almost every stat says OSU should have been in the middle of the conference... EXCEPT scoring! There has been no semblance of an offensive scheme, consistent offensive production, or the discipline to play to the team's strength which ISN'T shooting the 3. That's a coaching issue...
