Well, it warmed my heart to see what an Elite 8 run does for perception: "A program like Oregon State might not register to the casual college hoops fan, but they’re a respected program with obvious recent success and it’s been a while since the Cyclones could boast about a win over a program like that." cyclonefanatic.com/2021/11/three-things-to-watch-oregon-state/I was at a virtual event the other night, and a co-worker of mine who is an Iowa State alum was talking smack about the game......until another colleague pointed out the Cyclones were like 2-21 last year........which sadly makes me a bit nervous for the Beavers as well (and the first half of the PSU game did nothing to dispel my nervousness either). Go Beavers!!! |

I'll be honest, I don't know much about Iowa State. They had Halliburton, a one and done guy, when they played in Gill a couple years back. I think they've pretty much fallen off a cliff since he's been gone. I did see that we opened up as 1 point favorites which was a bit of a surprise to me. Iowa State is usually a good program with a lot of success in the last 5-10 years. They'll be a test one would think and they'll likely sell out their 14,500 seat arena considering they had over 12,000 for Kennesaw State on Tuesday.

I looked a few things up tonight. Cyclones were 0-18 on conference last year and picked to finish dead last this year. Granted so were we last year, but we weren’t coming off a winless conference season.

I posted the following in the Portland St game thread this week when someone brought up Beavs next two games.
Beavs better beat Tulsa. They were under .500 last year, and they’ve lost their top 2 scorers. I’d be very disappointed with a loss. Iowa State has a whole new team just about having brought in I think 6 transfers and a 4* recruit. Top two transfers are guards from Minn and Penn St. The frosh Tyrese Hunter is a very nice PG. he had 11 pts, 6 rebs, 5 asts, and 4 steals in 20 minutes in their opening win. They aren’t a real big team (top 5 players are really all guards). Interestingly, Tulsa and Iowa St both have transfers from Pac-12 — Horne from Colorado and Kunc from WSU respectively. Hopefully Iowa St is still trying to find itself and Beavers can use their size to an advantage. I think we’ll see another big game from Alatishe.
I will add that though their top 3 scorers are guards, they aren’t tiny — measuring 6-4, 6-4, and 6-3. Conditt at 6-9 is a regular part of their rotation. The other 3 guys that played in their opener are a 6-8 guard transfer from Kansas (averaged about 10 minutes and 2.5 points in two seasons there), 6-9 transfer from Denver (20+ mpg and 9 ppg in 2 seasons there), and the fore mentioned Kunc at 6-8. Beavs should have an advantage in the front court. Couple other things to note from their first game is ISU had 22 turnovers, and their opponent Kennesaw St shot 36 FTs. Beavs greatly improving on their 58% FT shooting from first game could go a long way toward making this a comfortable win.

(Someone will probably correct me, Wilitheshiznit most likely)
WT teams tend to not do well on the road, especially early in the year. This is going to be a tough game. Sold out crowd (or close to it), a bunch of hype about being an elite 8 team, on the road... I won't say it's a weather vein for which way the season will go,it'll just be tough.
not a coach, other then on a couch staring at a TV.... but if they can keep it close first half and absorb the other teams adrenaline rush etc... they could pull out the win.
either way, good lesson/win
Go Beavs

0-7. It looks like WT teams tend to not do well on the road, especially early in the year. Nice info - it hasn’t been good for sure, and getting wins in these next two games would be a pretty big deal. The reality is that very little of what WT wants to do defensively has been implanted yet, which he pointed out in the postgame interview vs PSU. Of course that will be true most everywhere else and certainly true for ISU, so more a matter of which teams have better overall game instincts at this point. |

I haven't done the research - perhaps someone might do it to prove me wrong.
However, my overly simplistic view of the Men's team over the past 5 years is this: if they shoot a better % from 3 than their opponent OSU will win the game....
GO BEAVS!!

Has anyone seen if Jarod is 100% good to go tonight ?
He looked like he tweaked his ankle at the end of the PSU Game ?

Of course I realized the disconnect after finding the channel on Sling and getting all set up. Time for some radio, since I refuse to $ign up for yet another subscription..... Go Beavers! |

Just looking at last year, the Beavers' record, when they shoot better % from 3 than their opponent? 20-5. Tied or opponent shoots better: 0-8. The Beavers lost every game that they did not out-shoot their opponent from 3. The five losses were Stanford, UCLA, Arizona State, Colorado and Houston. |
