Yes, but OSU is 3-12 this year, we are 14-1.This is essentially the same OSU team that made the Elite 8 last year... same as USC.
Yes they are, but sometimes the record doesn't tell the whole tale.Yes, but OSU is 3-12 this year, we are 14-1.
Nonetheless, while it was harder than most thought it should be, the team pulled through just fine.
Yes. They are not a good team. Period.This is essentially the same OSU team that made the Elite 8 last year... same as USC. Are you calling us "not a good team"?
Both teams coming off tough losses. Playing at home, but without a home-crowd is almost a draw. They played with more heart in the first half, we played with more heart and skill down the homestretch. To come back from 10 down to win by 10 is no mean feat!
Oh, I agree the defense was not up to par. And there was some "luck" involved. But given the forced time off and getting over the first-loss blues, I still say it was a decent win.Yes. They are not a good team. Period.
Did you watch the game? They pulled away in the final 90 seconds. And the game turned on a timely foul out.
Even that 2nd half defense is not the defense this team plays when in top form.
They have shown a tendency to play to the level of the competition and this may have just been a continuation of that tendency.
This. Lucas couldn’t miss - every time we pulled the score close he made 3’s. Sometimes a team gets hot, and OSU played over their heads for three-fourths of the game. They were playing a really physical game but that eventually caught up with and they lost the game with a couple of players fouled out.Basketball is a different game than football. Lucas shot lights-out from beyond the arc to keep them close or ahead much of the game. They hit on nine 3-pointers at over 50%. Three's over two's at that clip are a big deal. Almost every quality basketball team will play down to their competition at times - it's pulling out the win that counts.
Do you really think we're good enough to blow out every Pac-12 team? It will never happen in any year.Yes. They are not a good team. Period.

They had a long break between games...got rusty.
Because of their ranking, they are getting everybody's best shots. it's going to get tougherThey are not playing good defense and that is their heart.
I sure hope this is a very short term slump.
Oregon State is not a good team by any stretch. They should have won easy.
Their size and ability to get the rebounds saved them.
Did you watch the 2nd half?They had a 2 day break. The Stanford game should have removed the cobwebs.
and frankly, losing to Stanford should have made the team extremely motivated.
