Great win for the Beavers Men's Basketball team!

That win felt like last year for the first time this year. People scoring consistently and the defense being good enough to hold them off a bit. Lamar Hurd, Sasa Cuic, and Nick DeWitz really stepped up that game. Jones and Stephens have been doing well lately, but it really helped to have some guys knocking down 3's with confidence.

The first conference home game is this Thursday against Arizona. Let's fill Gill and pull of a nice upset!

Corvallis Gazette-Times - Beavers find a way on the road

John pulled point guards Jason Fontenet and Hurd aside during the shootaround and stressed to them about not forcing passes. If the turnovers were limited, they could play with the Golden Bears.

They accomplished that with only 12 turnovers, eight less than OSU’s average. That led to more shots, and better looks at the basket.

Sasa Cuic was a sharp shooter off the bench with 16 points, while Marcel Jones scored 13 and was the game’s leading rebounder with 11.

Man, Marcel really helps out with his rebounding. I don't think we could survive without his help on the glass.

I was very impressed with Jason and Lamar's control of the game and lack of turnovers.
