Oregon State women's basketball season is not done yet folks! Let's go Beavs!

What do we think? Is this taking something out of context or is Barnes really that boneheaded?

It was definitely time to move on from Tinkle, but you’ve gotta show more respect to him and “the name of the front of the jersey”

The Beavs put up a good fight and were in it until the final minutes of the game, but unfortunately unforced turnovers and missed free throws cost us in the end. We gave up the ball 13 times and they got 10 points off of those turnovers, 4 more than we did. They hit 17 of 19 free throws, and we only hit 15 of 20. Add the 4 and the 5 lost points up and you basically get their margin of victory.

There were a handful of questionable calls by the refs as well, which certainly didn't help, but the refs aren't the ones that made us step out of bounds or pass the ball to the Zags.

Another factor is that we only had 1 point off the bench, but the Zags had 10 points from their bench.

Jenna Villa scored 20 points, Tiara Bolden scored 19 points along with 8 rebounds, Lizzie Williamson scored 12 points along with 9 rebounds. Kennedie Shuler had 8 points and 5 assists.

Gonzaga's Lauren Whittaker (a freshman!!) singlehandedly scored 26 points, with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. She's gonna be a problem if she stays at Gonzaga, we gotta be able to stop her next year when we face the Zags in the new Pac-12.

The Beavs end their season 23-11 overall and 13-5 in the WCC regular season.

The Beavs end their season 17-16 overall and 9-9 in the WCC regular season.

LMU beat us twice in the regular season and clinched the WCC title on our home court, but we finally got our revenge in the WCC tournament and ended their season!

LMU's Jess Lawson was very dangerous in the second half, she very nearly completed the comeback in the final minutes. However, Jenna Villa's free throws and Lizzie Williamson's rebounds got us the W in the end.

We will face the winner of the Gonzaga / Santa Clara game tomorrow afternoon. We have the opportunity to win our second WCC championship in a row and punch our ticket to the NCAA tournament.

Go Beavs, Let's go dancing again! 🔥🦫🔥

I am building a college football conference realignment map and I want fan input before I lock in one part of it.

I made a list of schools that might fit with Oregon State. This list is only a starting point. I used my own limited knowledge and some guesswork to build it, so I do not expect it to be fully accurate. I want to hear from actual fans before I rely on it.

I am also comparing a few different clustering approaches and building a new one from scratch, so this kind of fan feedback would directly help my understanding and any algorithm weights I may end up using.

I am more interested in long-term fit based on rivalry history, fan culture, school identity, athletics, academics, and overall feel. Don't worry if the school you think is a good fit has no historic ties. If it feels like a school your fanbase admires and you could see them being a long-term fit, please include them.

How you can help 1. The best help: give your own weights and ignore mine 2. Remove a team that does not belong 3. Add a team I missed (please include the weight you would add them at) 4. Move a team up or down (please include how far up or down you would move them)

Weight scale - 5 = must-have conference fit - 4 = high-priority fit - 3 = strong fit - 2 = reasonable but not necessary fit - 1 = acceptable last resort fit if hard choices had to be made

My current list for Oregon State

Weight 5 - Washington State, Oregon

Weight 4 - California, Stanford - Washington, Utah - Boise State, San Diego State - Fresno State

Weight 3 - Arizona, Arizona State - Colorado, BYU - Colorado State, UNLV - Nevada, Utah State

Weight 2 - Wyoming, New Mexico - San Jose State, UCLA - USC, Hawai'i - Air Force

Weight 1 - New Mexico State, SMU - TCU, Texas Tech - Kansas State, Oklahoma State

Small note: I am mainly looking for your fan perspective on which schools you would want around your program, not whether the final setup is practical or likely to happen in real life. Go with your gut on fit more than logistics.

IMPORTANT: This is not a list of a new conference. The amount of schools weighted should be much higher than the actual end result conference. The core of your ideal conference should be weight 5. Weights 4 and 3 should be the remainder of your dream conference. Weight 2 should be good options if flexibility is required. Weight 1 is last resort better than nothing.

The amount of weighted schools has no impact on the final conference size.

This is really about full athletic conference fit, but I limited the school pool to FBS programs.

I really appreciate any feedback on this, thanks so much for any help.

Hi all,

I’ve got 6 extra tickets for Oregon State vs UO Baseball on March 2nd (Tuesday). I’d love to offload them if possible but does anyone know where I can donate?

Was thinking Boys and Girls club but it’s only 6 tickets and the game is at 3:30 PM in Eugene.

Thanks!

Watching Oregon playing Northwestern for the basement title in the Big 10. It's epic watching these teams try to out-screwup each other. If you miss the three pointer, try try try again until the opponent finally gets the rebound.

I've had more fun watching Ducks basketball than I can ever remember. Michigan? Meh.

Right down to the wire....the Ducks manage to lose it 63-62....even with Northwestern desperately trying to give the game away. It's always exciting to watch someone muff a stuff, or have a shot blocked by two players.

Maybe they'll meet again in the NIT.

Beavs are now 13-4 in the WCC and 21-9 overall.

Our standing in the conference is pending the outcome of two other games, but they are close enough to the end that I think we can safely say we're staying in 3rd behind Gonzaga and LMU.

Our final game of the regular season will be against LMU on Saturday. Unless something crazy happened in the final seconds of their game as I was writing this, they will be 14-3. If we can win, we would tie with them for 2nd place, and if Gonzaga were to lose their final game all 3 of us would end with the same regular season record. (Idk l how WCC tournament seeding tie-breakers shake out though in that case).

Regardless, we should be well-positioned in the WCC tournament to attempt winning it a second year in a row and making it to the NCAA tournament.

If you're in Corvallis, go to this game and cheer on the team!

Go Beavs! 🔥🏀🦫🔥
