That's the spirit! Who cares if we lose a game on national television to an unranked, but big name school? We're just Oregon State and that's what we do, lose games. No chance of winning the PAC12, and probably won't make the NCAA this year. Better give Wayne another year extension! This wasn't one game in his first or second year of coaching here. This is year 6 and we still can't expect these types of wins. When does it end? I love this fire the rower mentality. Let's get a guy here, give him next to zero resources or support, make him recruit kids to play basketball in a modified barn, and fire him, when he does not succeed. Repeat as needed, until we chance upon success. Brilliant! The athletic department from the top to its bloated middle is the problem, not Tinkle. From my view, Tinkle has done a very commendable job in Corvallis, given the resources and support that he has received. He put Oregon State in a position to win the game against Oklahoma. The players just did not capitalize on the position. That happens. Even to great teams, that happens. One loss does not change my perception. If we are going to "fix" the basketball team, we need to get rid of Barnes and trim the fat in the athletic department. Until then, I am very satisfied with Tinkle and the basketball team that he has cobbled together. I foresee 0-18 again, if Barnes is at the helm to hire the next head coach. How's that for spirit? Actually a great take on the status of OSU Athletics, trim some assistant ADs, realign how you allocate your resources, things that will never ever happen on Barnes watch.....then maybe we can get back to respectability in all sports not just baseball and women’s hoops. |

What games have you been watching? I was as low on ZR as anyone last year but he has been a different player this year and our team has been better with him on the floor. Plenty....he should not be playing these minutes period. Looked to be the same guy vs Oklahoma as last year. Maybe the 2nd half after the Sooners realized he could indeed shoot it a little. But, I believe he had 10 points in his 1st half minutes. He and Hollins were the only thing that kept us in the game the first 20 min. I still don;t think he's a guy a tourney type team has starting/getting significant minutes if your recruiting is improving at all. BUT, he has been far better... vastly better than last year thru 3 games. |

Someone with a pulse. Lucas can do better. Hunt should also be given more minutes. Are you not watching the games? ZR is the biggest surprise so far. He still has some limitations but you can’t question his effort. Sometimes your best effort isn't good enough. He should not be playing more than 10 minutes period. |

Just take a look at Scott Barnes' twitter account this year. One re-tweet for Gary Andersen at Utah State and that's it. PATHETIC! |

Just saw that Lunardi now has OK in the tourney in his bracketology (8 seed I think) and their just out of top 25 in coaches poll (little lower in AP poll).
