Wish Vernon hadn't seem to regress, too much coming up behind him? Dastrup looking in better shape, and Silva is progressing too. Vernon has always struck me as a guy who is trying to “look” like he’s a PG rather than playing like one. Just a lot of wasted movement. I think he was the only one who played and didn’t score. But Silva is playing better than expected. He is really plodding, but has a bit of an offensive game. Curious to see how he does when competition gets better. Tonight he actually had more points and rebounds than Kelley.

SJ previously beat Grambling (and a decent Hofstra team that beat UCLA), so it seems like today represents a significant improvement over our last game. I like the trend.

That may have been the worst college team play I've seen for a whole 40 min. Glad OSU took care of biz without playing down.
There's no way to sugar coat... SJSU is bad... 4-27 last year... can't see them much better this season. Did like how their big moved for his size. Good lesson for KK.
Just no reason to play multiple bad... really bad teams.

Hard too get scheduled for the A tournament's when you haven't been an A team. You play who you can and keep building.

The home schedule is pathetic overall. Gill might not see 5k again for MBB until Pac12 play. And, this schedule isn't going to help... heading to Buff/Ute road trip... and if we're a bubble team.

The A&M game is the only real test/game left on the schedule. The best home game being PSU which tells you something about the scheduling. Just take care of business and get to Pac-12 play at 11-1 or worst case 10-2 and all should be... OK. Still gonna take a good conference record to have any shot at an at large bid I think. This team has shown a lot of improvement over last year IMO. But the conference is also better. I see anywhere from an 8-10 to an 11-7 finish. I think this is at worst the 2nd best team in the WT era, so I'd be shocked by a worse finish than 8-10. That being said the expectation is the tourney this year and anything less should be a disappointment. Have to win the games we're supposed to or that wont happen. Today was a good job of taking care of business. Go beavs!

Today was a good job of taking care of business. Go beavs! Pac-12's winning percentage 2018-19: .613 Pac-12's winning percentage 2019-20: .779
According to RPI, the Pac-12 is the second-best conference. Last year, the Pac-12 finished seventh. If the Pac-12 can keep up that winning percentage, the Pac-12 is likely the nation's best conference at season's end.
It's early, but the magic number appears to be 21 regular season wins. If Oregon State can get there, they are a solid bubble team. 20 is a solid NIT team with maybe a shot at the Tournament with a good Pac-12 Tournament. Short of there, no promises.
Like you say, if Oregon State can get to 11-1 in non-conference, a 10-8 record puts the Beavers square on the bubble. 10-2 requires an 11-7 conference record.

Just looking ahead and good chance the Beavers next two games could be similar to this one — a lot of time for reserves. Portland St. only beat San Jose by 15 and just lost to Santa Barbara by 9. Arkansas Pine Bluff has just one win — against a school named Champion Christian College. Hopefully those two games have some of the bench players ready to contribute against A&M and in conference.

Tonight he actually had more points and rebounds than Kelley. Totally agree, he was out of control and a turnover waiting to happen and pretty much lost when he was on the court. My expectations were that he would turn into a pretty serviceable PG, not even close in this game really. Silva, better than expected, and way ahead of the rookies so far...
