Oregon St. Beavers at Washington Huskies, Mar 11, 2010 8:40 PM PST
Oregon State vs. Washington // Pac-10 Tournament, Round 2
8:30 PM, Staples Center // TV on FSN
It's the latest tip-off of the season for a team that likes to get up early-- but this is a must-win game if the Beavers want to keep their little-kid NCAA Tournament dreams alive.
Washington, as I mentioned in the preview earlier today, presents a lot of challenges for the Beavers. I don't know about you, but I'd be much more comfortable playing Cal, Arizona State, or UCLA. For some reason, the Huskies are just flat out hard for the Beavers to beat, but I expect this game to be hard fought. It's about time the Beavers had their way against Lorenzo Romar and Washington, but it'll take some stellar execution on the offensive and defensive end of the court. Even if you limit UW offensively, they're still going to put up a lot of points. The Beavers aren't going to win if this turns into a track meet, so it's up to the team to avoid any sort of mental lapse whatsoever and play 40 minutes of heads-up basketball. And shots need to fall.
Here's the place to talk about this late evening affair. While we wait, any of today's three other Pac-10 tournament games are also up for debate.

I wanted it noted
That in a few other of my older comment posts I talked about Brandt’s great looking shooting touch!
Wow, those threes were pure.

I tell you
As frustrating as this season has been if we add in Nelson finally and he’s 3/4 as good as we have heard Robinson is going to have some darn good teams in the near future.
Lots of potential on this team, and good young talent.

Where in the heck is everyone?
That was a good half!
31 to 22 OSU leads, and could’ve/should’ve been more.
Is this going to be yet another tale of two halves though? I think the Beavs can win it though, and they will need to deflect a UW run that you know will be coming, if they can withstand that and stay collected, look out.

Lots of good things in the first half, but lots could have been better
(I was just typing this comment when you posted yours)
I even said it earlier in the first half… I was sort of glad that we didn’t build a gigantic lead. That worries me more than keeping a consistent 10-ish point edge. That way, the Beavers won’t have any reason to get complacent, and every possession will still mean something.
Coach Rob is right… way too many turnovers, and the Beavers are still on top by a comfortable margin.
Washington is streaky and I’m sure they have a run in them… but we’re shooting the ball very well tonight, it seems. With exception of Calvin.

Agree, BUT still!
I like how they frustrated UW all half and even though it could have been improved it is OSU’s type of game so far.
Plus on a side note, I just really like what we are seeing with the younger players in this game at the end of the season. It has been inconsistent for sure, but I really like the glimpses we are seeing. I also love the possible rotation schemes Robinson will have next year.

Darn
Now the flipside of inexperience is starting to show.
I can’t stand UW and OSU can’t fold, I know they cranked up the pressure but still. Need to go after it a bit more and stop the standing around stuff.

Poop
Well, I wanted that one, sigh…at least they did make a game out of it though, but dang the chances were there tonight and UW was on its heels there for the beginning of the second half.
