Lucas is automatic at the line - rare for a college player.

Wow! Pulled one out for once. Every game with these guys is ugly. Good to get a win no matter how you slice it! Maybe the other night was just an abberation. Its always nice to get a win. Unfortunately if I had to pick which game was the aberration there wouldn't be much of a choice.

Wouldn't you be saying there would be a lot of choices ? If the Aberration was the referenced Arizona beat down, I think we can all be sure that there are many better teams to give us a thrashing.. that are upcomin, to pick from ! That's if, we do not go into another COVID pause ( us or opponents ), not at all unlikely !

We play USC on Tuesday this week so it'll be a quick turnaround relatively speaking. Then a Civil War match-up down in Eugene. Both these teams are talented enough to beat us as bad as UA did if we don't show up. We'll probably get a good idea of which game was an aberration after this week.

I don't know how much charity I have left to give to this program, but I just can't imagine them playing a worse game than they did against Arizona. Even if they tried. It was comical how bad the shooting was. Seemed like every missed shot was going to bounce directly into the waiting hands of the Cats like a bee returning to the hive. Everything Arizona tried was working. Nothing the Beavs did worked. We might not be a good team, but we literally could have randomly picked 9 guys out of the OSU student body and had similar results in that game.
If we keep having games like that I would suggest it's time to bring in an exorcist, because this team would clearly be cursed.
That said, ASU is not as good a team as UA. Agree with others that we will have a better idea of what is, or isn't an aberration after this week.

This answers the question on the players quitting on Tinkle. ASU is obviously not good, but Beavers are playing perhaps their bset game of the season. They have 2 five star recruits in their team. And except for a few local kids walking on, the rest of the team was either 4 or 5 star recruits, stars in international basketball or starring on another college team. Their team is loaded, ours isn't, add in being shut down for a week/week and a half for covid and the blowout is not all that much of a surprise. There's a lot of season left to more accurately judge the team/Tinkle on.

ASU is a pretty good team returning 6 of their top 8 scorers from last year. They added Josh Christopher 5* and Marcus Bagley 4* gives them mega depth.....beating them was no small feat.

Their subpar record surprises me so far this season. More than enough talent there for them to be successful, and were the highest ranked pac-12 team in the preseason. ASU does always seem to do less with their talent level than they should however, especially in conference play the last few years. They then stumble into the NCAA tourney and lose in the first round. I don't mind seeing them underachieve though because Bobby Hurley is an asshat, and unless they're playing the ducks then I always find myself rooting against them.

I agree that Hurley is an asshat, but if that’s true, what does that make Laettner?

That's if, we do not go into another COVID pause ( us or opponents ), not at all unlikely ! If you look at the BPI and W/Ls, there are a few aberrations on our schedule this year, only one last week. Reference: OSU now clocking in at 142 Losses - 2 teams in the 300s (Wyoming and Portland) Wins - One top 100 team in ASU (dropped to 72 after loss) Reference: www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/overview/page/3
