Tinkle hater? No he seems like a good guy. But if all of you can't see the pac12 is not good then you aren't being honest. And being 500 in a bad league isn't good. USC is 24th in NET rankings and we beat them. Played very close with #15 Colorado quite recently. We've had worse teams. And, we have a chance to finish 2nd in the conference among non-cheating teams in terms of recruiting.....only behind Colorado.

This isn't a great team by any means, but after that debacle against UP, did anyone imagine we would be 10-9 in Conference play at this point? That's also 4 straight wins over Utah - and their coach is being paid a lot more than Tinkle. I want to know what happened to this team after the early blowout to Arizona. Totally different team. Except for GP II teams, if a game was close at the 10:00 mark, I had zero confidence. Obviously, my pessimism was sometimes proven wrong. Now, if the Beavers are even close at 10:00, I expect a win. I don't care if the Pac12 isn't great, this team has me excited.

If the team had been playing this well earlier in the season, there's a decent chance they'd have beaten UCLA and WSU earlier in the season. I think they've got a decent shot at beating the ux in a few days. I wouldn't have thought that before the season.

I'm not a big fan of Tinkle because of his over-reliance on off-spring. They had/have great stats but few wins. Now, without most of the off-spring he is doing his best coaching job. I'm interested to see how he will do next year which is a 180 for me. I previously wanted him gone as soon as it was affordable. Count me as a reformed fan/bandwagoner.

He’s not Thompson’s dad....just to be clear.

You know, there's really no way to tell how much having 3 talented coach's kids, who were likely 4 year starters, hurt recruiting the last several years. The coaching job Tinkle did his first two years was terrific. Overall it's been pretty good, but I do think at least some talented kids avoided coming here simply because of the names already on the roster. I wouldn't personally call it an over-reliance on off-spring because they were all talented kids who would have started at most schools. It would have been a mistake to sit them.

So “Cal” equals the 6-7 teams behind us? Hater. You don't get it. We are mediocre in a bad league. Comparing us to the 5 or 6 teams behind us immaterial. Why can’t you just be happy and enjoy the now? Sheesh.. must be tough to deal with real world problems.

To me the biggest difference I see from this team and teams previous is the inside presence and rebounding....Warith....Silva.....can't recall the other big dude's name.....they are a load. And tonight it just always felt like we were the more athletic team. Been a while since I could say that about an OSU team in general. I like this team......and when they all show up, they can beat about anyone. Course we could lose to almost anyone as well....guess that's how it goes, but I'm enjoying this late season ride. Beat the Ducks and things continue to get more interesting.

Obviously Tres, Stevie and Ethan were/are all better than average players. The most disappointing part of how that difficult situation, three sons - two Dads coaching played out was, those three always appeared to have much more rope than other players when they made a bone headed play or weren’t hustling on defense. You see it all the time with Gianni or Silver or Calloo, name another player. They’ll be immediately yanked if they’re not doing what they’re supposed to. And yes it’s a fine line cause the Beavs pretty much needed TT, ST, ET on the court.
But if they just had known there was a threat of pine time if they made the mistakes others made it would have at least looked better and possibly played out better.
But it’s a weird thing when you have to juggle a personal life with some of the players away from the court too. while for the rest of the players the relationship is mostly practice/games. You’re not getting the stink eye in your living room if you pull Roman for not going straight up on D or Jared for jacking a ridiculous three 4 seconds into the shot clock

I think the coaches's kids may have been overated because the rating services wanted to make nice with their parents. Bad chemistry or overated, either way led to losing records.
