Oregon State it is. Iona beat them in 2OT yesterday, 91-84.

There's an off-day today to recover, but hopefully the Beavers are still a bit tired from that one.

As the Pac-12 is still recovering from the mass defection a couple years ago, Oregon State is playing basketball as an affiliate member in the West Coast Conference last season and this. Their coach is Wayne Tinkle. Seth Berger played his last season for him after he did a grad transfer away from us.

^ If we got to worry about an opponent hopefully being tired, playing for NOT to be last, let's pack up and Go Home!

Probably should have kept those private after losing two straight.

I’ll never forget being at a party and Seth Berger and Tyler Bergantino stumbled in, and broke the news to us that they were gonna commit to UMass.. classic

Bergantino is killing it now hosting those Tall people meet ups

Here's what I noticed from the practice pictures: Danny is in the grey jersey with the other starters and K'Jei is in the red jersey with the subs (Clerc, Luka, Placide). I'm going to predict that we see a change to the starting lineup tomorrow with Danny in and K'jei out.

As far as the opinion that they shouldn't have posted those "fun in the sun" pictures, I disagree. They need a day off to clear their heads, have fun together, and get away from the wrath of Frank. I'm glad they posted it and I hope the guys had a blast.

Yup. Just reset. Not playing well, but the season is still young as are these kids. I'll always pull for them. Start a new run today and get back on the winning track

Look at the Oregon State Roster. From their record, it's apparent that a lot of their players aren't very good, otherwise they would be 6-0. It looks like our roster from last year. If we don't show up we could lose by 20.

Carbuccia getting the start at the 1 today, swapping our K'Jei Parker.

Danny is in the starting lineup today, K'Jei off the bench.

Looks like there might be 100 people in attendance. What an atmosphere for the last place game.

[Juice Stand]

Good start getting your 3 stars involved early. Banks with a quick 3, then Bettiol and DHS. Hopefully that picks DHS up a little and gets him going.

Frank sucks. Danny and Leo just double teamed the ball handler, causing a travel and Frank immediately starts screaming at Leo. For what? Playing good team defense and causing a turnover? What a jerk.

To quote the great Vinny Gambini, "I got no more use for this guy"
