Tourney game in 1990 (Ball St. ?) sucked. Such a horrible ending for GP.

What really sucked was building up all of this excitement, enjoying solid play all through the Pac-10 season, watching some barn burner games at Gill (GP goes for 58, Lute gets a T for kicking the ball......), being ranked, seeing Oregon State in the March Madness brackets, plotting their hopeful path to Sweet Sixteens or Excellent Eights or Final Fours.......
Just to have it all come crashing down in one and done fashion.
Very deflating.
Whether it was Ball State, Evansville, Notre Dame, Lamar, Louisville, VCU, West Virginia or whoever - this one and done thing has got to go! (OSU last advanced beyond the first game in 1982).
This is some thing I enjoy about the women's team these past few years - not being a "one and done". The men are 12-20 all time in the tournament, women are 8-7 (and 6-3 in the Rueck era).
Go Beavs!

I think everyone felt just a bit closer to that team. I know my stomach hurt for days after that loss. Very unexpected. But, that's the way the Pickle Squirts. I'm sure the Smokin Lamp was lit for Coach till the wee hours. |

That one stung big-time. I went on exchange to OSU that year and quickly became a Beaver Believer, and was at every home game during the season. A magical season -- with a heart-breaking ending. After seeing a few games, I was touting the Beavers to my friends back in Illinois and telling my high school friends that Ralph Miller reminded me of our high school coach Don Laketa. Lo and behold I was reading Miller's profile in the media guide and Laketa was mentioned as playing for Miller at Wichita St.
And not that I need another reason to hate K-State, but their coach Bruce Weber -- after having great success with Bill Self's recruits -- slowly dragged Illinois (my alma mater) down into the doldrums that they've yet to escape.

Hey... they won their NIT opener! A start back up... I'd take that about now. |

Of course, that is assuming we can find someone better. |
