Lost weekend and certainly missed an opportunity at ASU, but this was certainly not unexpected.
Road wins are tough to come by for everybody, and Arizona is one of the toughest places to get them. 2 road wins were given up this weekend in 9 games: Stanford @ WSU, and hole @ UA.
The winner of the conference probably will have 4-5 road wins this year. UW has 2 (Utah and Colo). UA has 2 (@stanford and Cal). Everybody else has 1 or less.
holes win at UA not withstanding (them not holding serve at home makes their road wins pretty meaningless), OSU and UCLA's wins in Eugene are the most impressive road wins in the conference to date, with may UA's win @stanford of similar quality. We're still very much in this thing.

From Eggers’s puff piece earlier this week: "It's a good feeling to be 3-0, but we don't want to be satisfied with that," Tres Tinkle said. "We have to learn how to handle success. These wins should help us be hungrier. We don't want to just win at home. We really believe in ourselves. Now we're trying to bring other people on board." There's no question the Pac-12 is down this season, with no teams ranked among the nation's top 25. Is there an opportunity for the Beavers to slip in and win their first conference championship since 1990? "I like the sound of that," Tres said with a smile. His article is not aging well. Why is that a puff piece? They aren't satisfied with 3-2. Nobody is more disappointed than the team is.

The only thing that would have disappointed him/her more would be if the Beavers would have won.

After a weekend series where OSU played without Tres in one game and had three players with six assists in the other, Eggers spent most of the article puffing up Tres.

Thanks for having the appropriate level of disappointment. As a beav fan you should not quite be kicking the dog angry but definitely edging towards bitterness at the continued underachievement that may or may not be the fault of coaches and players and the school president and various nested elements. Your IBU chart should be way past a belgian wheat ale but not quite to India Pale Ale. I do recommend you have some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on stock around tournament time...

I was putting myself in the place Tres's teammates. You win a game without him and then you win playing team ball, and then the press writes a glowing piece about Tres. Seems like it supports the narrative that coaches's kids are treated differently. First by the coaches and now by the press. I think they are a better team without Tres, or at least would become a better team this year without Tres.

I agree that the team played great team ball against SC and that it was an enjoyable game to watch, but in the game mentioned earlier where 3 guys had 6 assists, Tres was also one of those players. I don't think this team is "lost" without Tres, but he was a first team all-conference guy last year and a potential Pac-12 player of the year guy this year so I'd say there's a bunch of teams who would love to have him on their roster.
I do agree that a piece just about Tres last week was odd timing, but to say that the team is better off without him IMO is just not true.

With WSU coming in next, Tres needs to get off that ankle all week and not start, or if possible, not play against the Cougs. Get that limb healed up. Just mho.

Isn't the more intrinsic question Why does Stevie Thompson's superman Cape only work when Tres is in street clothes? Is there some unconscious hesitation that creeps into Stevie's game like cryptonite when he is not the unquestioned number1 option? I cant be the only one who noticed how dominant he was in that SC game. It's not a fluke. He's the all time 3pt leader for fudge sake. There's just weird circuitry on this team. Not firing on all cylinders everybody has come to accept that.
