Can’t say anything positive about that first half. I don’t get how they don’t have anything other than passing it around the perimeter until taking a 35 three.
I agree with you, but the Beavs also haven’t done anything to drive or draw a foul. Pretty hard to get a whistle when they just stand around the outside.
I’m listening on the radio so I haven’t seen one iota of the game but several times in the first half (per Parker) a beaver player was knocked to the floor driving to the basket.
With 9 minutes left, FT’s………….
UCLA 14-17
Beavs 1-2
If I was WT I’d walk over to the scorers table at the next time out. Drop my pants in front of the refs, bend over and say if you’re going to fuck us how about I make it easier for you.
UCLA can’t shoot like that for a full game. FS1 doesn’t solve the presence of a PAC12 ref crew. Tinkle called for a phantom foul on a missed dunk, Ethan hacked on a couple of drives for no-calls, Tinkle with a steal at mid-court that is called a kick-ball, UCLA guys all baby hop on a 3pt shot and get away with it.
I agree that the zone offense is horrific if this were a junior high team. How is Tres not flashing from the weak-side constantly at the high post? Baseline is always open and UCLA isn’t aggressive enough to trap in the corner, so high post to baseline is always open. Half-time adjustments coming?
I don’t know why I even watch this shit. These guys can’t finish from 2 feet, have hands made of concrete and just throw the ball all over the court. I have no idea how they’ve won 16 games.
Beavs usually have 3-4 players higher than free throw line, throw it around perimeter, baseline wide open…passes inside not used even though available.
Nobody else knows why we’re watching either…stands over half empty, this thread dead,
UCLA isn’t taking this game, Beavs giving it away. Beavs look like year 1 or 2 of tebuikd..
Thats fair. I don’t get to watch them often and am off tonight to see it, but it just feels so frustrating. Just feels like any game I actually sit down to watch is just a shitshow.
I don’t understand the college continuation rule. Most games the call a foul on the floor with no basket if the guy makes another move, but that last call was counter to most foul calls i’ve seem all year, and of course benefits ucla
Vernon 3 ties it and then STJ puts Beavs up 2. Getting hot at the right time and finishing strong. UCLA appears to have blown their wad early. About 1 minute left, Bruins ball after time.
It’s interesting how Vernon calmly hits a three, yet we have Tres missing a key foul shot and virtually airballing his shots. I hope Vernon doesn’t transfer out, he should be starting.
28 UCLA freethrows to 3 OSU ones. Tinkle blew it not calling a timeout at the end there, too. Need to use your final timeout there and draw up a play to get the last bucket.
Tinkle full court desperation heave at buzzer and he’s clearly fouled, no call.
Still, no excuse for the team not having a final play ready when down 1 in final possession, with a timeout available, where they settle for a Tinkle deep 3 airball. That was their chance
They should have called timeout at 8-10 seconds when it was obvious they didn’t have a play. I know the team wouldn’t be where they are without Tres, but he played poorly and selfishly down the stretch.
should have saved timeout to advance ball to midcourt for last shot with one sec to go. Stupid timeout after missed FT by UCLA. those final two shots weren’t even close and all you needed was a two pointer to win not a three. Well, that’s the breaks I guess. Gave that game away at the end but this team showed lots of character coming back 3 times from 11 points down in the second half with about 11 minute to go. I think coach tinkle mismanaged the last two possessions though.
I don’t watch much womens hoops so idk if you can advance the ball to half court after a timeout. I do know that in mens college basketball you cannot.
I am seeing ignoramuses all over social media tonight questioning why WT didn’t call a TO and advance the ball to half court. Coaching 101.
Maybe because he knows the rules and you (not you mckalk) obviously don’t?
And I don’t like having to defend WT because I’ve soured on him as a coach. This team with this talent should not have 9 losses right now.
Part of that is coaching. Tonight a big part of that was one sided officiating. There is something seriously wrong when one team shoots 28 free throws and the other team only 3. UCLA was whistled for 8 personal fouls in the entire game. THE ENTIRE GAME!
yep, I realized my mistake a few minutes after posting comment. Ive been to 6-7 beavs WBB games so far and got the rule mixed up. Went to OSC game last night and Slocum 3 pointer with defender in her face with just 30 secs or so left was crazy. Why can’t the men shoot like that.
If I’m Ethan Thompson I strongly consider grad transferring for my
Final year. He will always have to play off of tres while trying to fulfill pg duties when he isn’t a true point guard. Go somewhere and play as a shooting guard with a coach that can utilize your talents.
The team has a PG, his name is Vernon, he’s poised now, but think of how good he would be if WT had made the right call and played him from the beginning. Ethan will stay with Daddy. His final season will be without Tres anyway. I more worried about Vernon saying goodbye to the bullshit.
He’s intelligent, safe with the ball. Nice stroke from three and deadly at the foul line. I’m sorry, but Reichle is a marginal D-1 player. Ethan needs to be playing that position and Vernon starting.
Reichle sucks and is a one trick pony. And right now he even sucks at that. Reminds me of Angelo Sockasuckus. Or whatever his last name was. Wasted scholarship.
Reichle’s fine for what we should expect of him. The problem is that Tinks expects too much from him. It may pay off at the end of the season, if he gets hot. He’s starting to warm up now.
While Tres is the undisputed MVP of most games, the secondary players are important. Hollins was the guy who helped to win the home CW. Almost everything bounced and fell right for him that day… because he moves with a purpose. He’s going to be fun to watch as an upperclassman.
Reichle is setting up to be the heat check guy… if he can start hitting them consistently.
Someone mentioned some info about Tres being hurt for the CW and maybe not playing. I think that was Washington. His limited minutes since the Cal game would explain that story line.
That was bizarre, college refs are usually sticklers about NOT allowing any form of continuation. It was absurdly one-sided officiating, but the Beavs still should have won. My guess is Boatwright will drain a shit ton of three’s on Saturday and it will be a lost road trip for the Beavs. I said in another thread that I will believe ten wins when I see it. It’s been 29 years since they have finished better than .500 in league play, almost three effing decades!
ST Jr and Tres combined for 40 of the Beavs 67 points. Beavs usually go 9 deep on the roster. That means your other 7 players accounted for 27 points. Just under 4 PPG average. The other 3 starters had 6, 4 and 4 points.
Bench had 13 points between 4 players. Despite the FT disparity, that is not a winning formula. Or sharing the ball.
However, a couple of players on this team seem to have limited offensive capabilities. Their names rhyme with Reichle and Rokocevic.
I suppose it is entirely possible this team doesn’t have as much talent as I thought they did. Couple that with marginal coaching and well, you get what we see.
“They brought more physicality than we did, for sure. We faded a little when we were attacking the rim,” said OSU senior Stephen Thompson Jr., who led the Beavers with 21 points.
Said center Gligorije Rakocevic: “I would say we didn’t finish strong. We didn’t attack the rim.”
“There were a lot of plays we relaxed on and took for granted. Those plays come to haunt you in close games like this,” Thompson said.
“We just didn’t come out ready to play,” Rakocevic said.
“It was like we were playing keep away. We weren’t looking to attack the gaps in the zone,” Tinkle said. “Multiple times we were having to burp up shots at the end of shot clocks.”
“Again, I’m very frustrated,” Wayne Tinkle said. “But we shot ourselves in the foot multiple, multiple times. We have to learn how to defend without fouling on the road.”
Free throw disparity aside, Why? Why, why, why is this team more often than not unprepared at the beginning of games and come out flat???? Something is obviously broke. It’s either the game plan going in, the players not sticking to said plan or the failure by the coaching staff to adjust.
I have more thoughts on this but too frustrated tonight. That was a winnable game against a flailing team drifting in the sea without a rudder. And even despite the officiating you took the lead with less than two minutes to go and couldn’t hang on. If these guys could fucking coach or play worth two squirts of piss (they way they have shown they are capable) most of the time they’d be a tournament team.
This is my favorite:
“It was like we were playing keep away. We weren’t looking to attack the gaps in the zone,” Tinkle said. “Multiple times we were having to burp up shots at the end of shot clocks.”
Hmm… if only there was a person who had the power to yank leashes on the sideline… someone who could manage rotations so as to direct that kind of play. It’s too bad that person doesn’t exist.
One more loss (on top of this one and at least five others that should be wins), and it’s “Well, there’s always next year,” time.
The upgrade with Tinks has been only a couple points. CR was .469 overall, .362 in Pac play. Tinks is .480 and .388.
He’s going to have no choice with Lucas on campus next year. He’s getting a coach’s son, but not an OSU coach’s son. The next four years are going to be fun.
Crazy story out of Florida today, where Pats owner Robert Kraft was arrested for soliciting prostitution at some massage parlor that’s been u der investigation for human trafficking and holding women as sex slaves/prisoners.
So I had the interesting experience of watching the game a bar stool away from our AD.
Did not seem too upset with the loss and seemed to have a bit of the aw shucks we were close reaction. He was sitting with a guy that does fundraising and a Asst. AD, a young guy that came from Pitt when we hired him. I eavesdropped as best I could during the first half. Takeaways…..
Still talks to GA a bunch
Thinks he is a great coach and man.
I think this confirms it was mutual parting with both trying to protect the other.
Talking about the new recruits coming in, particularly the kid setting the CA scoring records.
NO reaction about Tres passing up a 5 footer in the lane with 8-9 seconds on the shot clock, so we can bleed off more time and be forced to take a desperation shot. Scoring is the important thing.
POOR execution again.
It is amazing that the same shit is going on at MN, a player playing out of of position at the point and the solution sitting his ass on the pine. Coaches stubborn or stupid?
I guess a combination. I suppose WT would say that what he sees in practice dictates minutes on the floor, but I want to see more of Vernon. He’s a true PG, think of where he could be by now if he was playing 25 minutes a game?
This current Nebraska at bat has to be the longest single at-bat i’ve ever seen/heard. Been full count for quite some time, with several foul balls, and Abel has been throwing over to 1st to keep the runner honest. Gonna wear out his arm before we get to the 4th inning.
Abel with 10 Ks so far, along with 2 walks., but then a runner is allowed on base via an error (not sure who) and then a base hit to LF drives in the run. So no hitter is dead.
The error was on Dukart for getting a ball struck in his cheek, but they now have reversed the error to a hit which gave the Huskers an Earned run. New pitcher top of the 6th. Dylan Pearce is the relief pitcher currently.
For reference, that podcast interview with Gebbia which Warren used to fill time, was the one recently linked here by the nicestbeaver. Done on the first signing day. Worth the second listen!
Gretler appears to be the biggest loss to make up. He was so solid. Dukart has misplayed several balls and does not appear to have the arm strength of Gretler.
Abel was on. Looked great. Ump not giving the low strike. AR, another bomb.
Chamberlain was painting the plate in and out. Great play by Zac catching a fly in the Arkansas area.
Nebs starter was good. Their infield throws not so much.
There was a small ticket office set up at the main gate of the softball complex last year for the Oklahoma game. They’ll sell walk up tickets this year, but if you go to many of the games, a season ticket is only $50 and $30 for seniors. I enjoy softball I’m going with the season ticket. Softball is off to an 11-2 start and has a very good looking team this year.
@Old Yeller appreciate the info. I would like to support the program. Watching the women’s bball game tonight made me realize Beav fans are fortunate to have some great/successful programs to support. Good to know about the season ticket price. I hope they can keep it rolling.
Rueck should be paid additionally and be a gameday assistant for the men. He would be a huge upgrade both in demeanor and game strategy over Tinkle’s malpractice of game prep, rotation disaster, preferential treatment and timeouts after made buckets that always kill a momentum building run. I also get tired of seeing them give up an open 3 on a big possession (as soon as Tinkle starts waving his arms…open 3 to silence the crowd).
Rueck and Casey are such a high standard of excellence and effuse an expectation of greatness. Unfortunately for Tinkle, he will be compared to their standard.
BTW, the bald ref from the UCLA game seemed on the take last night. No call went the Beavs way from him throughout the game. Fishy. They still should have won, but that guy proves how a ref can easily and consistently impact the course of the game.
Here we go again, comparing apples and oranges, then pretending we didn’t just compare apples and oranges in order to come to an irrational conclusion.
Incorrect. The games are completely different. Scotty’s O would not be anything special on the men’s side. He would have to start all over and develop new systems. Could he do it? I have no doubt he could, given time. If you want to wait several years until his methods catch up to the speed of the mens game, that’s fair. But a one-for-one trade-off is not happening given all the disparities in the two very different games.
UCLA WBB trailed by 22 at one point, but comes back to beat oregon at TTATT by 5. Beavs are 1 game closer to taking over the top spot in the Pac.
Anybody know the tiebreaker if the teams split head to head?
Beavs gotta worry about UCLA more than anything right now though.
Her stupidity isn’t in my face daily, as is Dumbshit’s. If his stupidity, cowardice and dishonor bore you, get used to it. He’s there by someone’s choice, and what they’ve chosen is their ridiculous victimhood, in all its whiny, fear-based idiocy.
So much fucking whining… and no work. I would say all hat and no cattle, but Dumbshit’s hats don’t even claim cattle. They just emanate his American Carnage vision… and rightly get it thrown back in their faces.
Anybody keeping track of the success of pinch hitters so far? I know Bailey was 3 for 3 in the first game and see that Fuchs got another pinch hit hit (RBI, to boot) yesterday.
Small sample and I’ve missed several innings but it seems the PH decisions have been an overall positive………so far.
/////////// ///////////
ADD: WHOA ! In checking the box score from yesterday I find that Mark Buchanan was the 1b ump. If that name rings a bell, I’ll just ask if you can spell B E A K I N G. I’m, sure Casey can.
If normal rotation holds, Buchanan will be behind the plate today.
Ron Callan, the WBB play by play radio guy, has sung the national anthems of Canada and Germany for departing seniors. This Sunday he’ll sing the Polish na to honor senior Jo Grymek.
He will sing before the game and I doubt it will be on TV, but certainly worth getting to Gill early if you are going.
Inning 2, For those wondering why Zack T plays, you should have seen the spectacular play on a pop up bunt. Dove and caught it halfway down the first base line. Nebraska then tried to steal on Adley. Perfect bullet right on target.
Pain is what happens when you take form OSU ha.
it is almost like a plague. Hey, you want Riley ok sure he did well at OSU
fast forward your team is losing player to OSU.
What black magic is this.
Yep you are right bunting has been a problem so far eye-roll.
No I know what you mean what else is there to point out.
starters not going deep..it is still earlier no problem there we’ll see if this is a problem later
I don’t me to be rude to the players but they are playing guys I have no idea whom they are or where on the team. This a good thing
Pinch hitting in the b8: Meckler an IF single, Dukart an RBI single.
Is the degree of success of ph due to a wise Bailey? General talent? Caliber of the opposition? Time of the year?
17-1, Sam T. gets the W and Walling a decent line in a short appearance.
And, the dastardly Mark Buchanan couldn’t do a thing about it……at least, he didn’t do a thing about it! But, he’ll likely be at 3b tomorrow, he’s especially dangerous there!
OT – Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution in a FLA massage parlor…if true, one would think someone this wealthy might have underlings arrange more discreet transactions in more upscale locations.
“The Orchids of Asia website lists “a variety of massage modalities”- including Thai, Swedish and Japanese massage, facials and reflexology – offered in “private, quiet and clean rooms”.
Police say the average cost of a one-hour visit to the spa is $79.
Mr Kerr said it was a surprise to learn the billionaire had attended the parlour, which is located in a row of shops beside a nail salon, a surf shop, a video-game store and a Thai restaurant. ”
This is the most mystifying part of it for me. You all are billionaires, and your need to have someone masturbate you is so great that you slum it in a strip mall in Florida… where it’s likely the Russian mafia is trafficking humans.
Well, because he’s a friend of the POTUS, he can probably tell him a wall on the US/Mexcian border won’t stop this kind of illegal immigration of which he was just a victim, and that perhaps in conversations with Russia the POTUS or his shoe lickers could ask them to please stop this whole trafficking business….clearly they’re both invested in this issue. Although Kraft apparently invests $79 at a time…
The ownership of Kraft/Heinz, btw, is Buffet and 3G. Buffet made a deal he spent a lifetime criticizing. While it’s worked out on one deal, Kraft/Heinz also had a very bad day earlier this week. It was just a bad day for Krafts.
I’ve suggested this before, but I really think it would be beneficial for Smith to take the football team to games like recent UO WBB @ OSU, or take them to a baseball game….”See, this is how a PROGRAM and a TEAM perform…” then discuss with them after what makes these programs/teams successful.
I don’t know how much of this kind of this cross program interaction occurs with this kind of intention. Hell, maybe even a good AD could facilitate it?
I’m just hoping they can make it a game unlike the last time they played. With Wazzu playing halfway decent, this will be the toughest road trip of the year.
Jon Warren, does the weekday program with Mike Parker. I believe this is his third spring doing these games. Get used to it, he’ll likely do at least 8 more before Parker finishes with MBB.
I’d like to hear Ron Callan do these games but he is busy with WBB. You can sample his work at 1pm today, should be a great game vs Bruins. Important in national rankings, if you care about such things.
Sees like a nice guy but he must have a fill-in-the-blanks page, “and here come the __________”
He often describes the play before,finally, the results. However, I think OSU has the most complete audio coverage in the Pac-12.
Oh Jon is doing all right the scores are so high does it matter?
Not to be rude to Jon he is just not a numbers guy. Like he was point out that is what this is for http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=248106
I’ll bet Jon would tell you he is a numbers guy. If you’ve ever listened to the weekday Joe Beaver Show he does with Parker, you’ll remember dozens of times he has explained the finer details of how difficult it is to coordinate the technical aspects of that production. Seems to believe he is an IT genius.
FWIW, nicebeaver has retweeted at the top of this page a tweet from Josh Worden. He is the support staff for the JBS and frequently fills in for either Jon or Mike; now this guy has a voice for radio and seems pretty sharp. He does some HS play by play and I look forward to the day he does a Beavs game. With just a little experience I think he’d best good old Jon. JMHO.
Speaking of boosts in rankings from stupid metrics. 2 loss oregon is ranked #2 RPI despite losing twice already. Because they lost to 1 loss Texas Tech which is #1 RPI.
If you watched any beav sports this weekend you witnessed all wins by multiple programs. So yes I was using a little sarcasm. The topic has been bought up on here before about the Beavs dropping out of the pac and I think it’s a dumb topic to bring up. Usually comes up during football season. Osu is fantastic at many things including a variety of athletics and academics. Go Beavs!
It is a dumb topic when brought up, most of the time. What people don’t realize is that the Pac regents would sooner kick out an insufficient academic contributor to the conference than one who wins or loses at games of some kind. So there is some irony that those who troll here with that topic are most likely to be from the school most likely to be kicked out of the conference, if there were ever a reason for it to come to that.
Suffice it to say, the majority of the Pac would rather drop the sport of football than kick out OSU (or anyone, frankly).
Anyone know if chad Johnson jr is coming to the spring game in connection with a possible offer? I read it’s unofficial and it seems like the Beavs never went after him like I thought they would.
@nicebeaver I haven’t seen you post anything about him and you are usually in the known so
I’m a bit suspicious it’s an attempt for him to drum up some attention.
We were the first team to offer him, i believe. But I’m skeptical he’ll end up a Beaver in the end. Was an ASU verbal commit, and apparently isn’t anymore. But who knows. Some guys love the attention recruiting brings.
Beavs WBB not getting a very favorable seeding, at this point. 3 seed playing in the Albany, NY regional, matched up with the #1 overall seed, UCONN. 1st round would be in Corvallis, but sending them across the country as the only west coast team in that bracket seems like a crappy draw.
Oregon, by contrast, would play 1st round in Eugene as a #2 seed and then move to Portland for their regional, with Notre Dame as the top seed in that bracket.
No change from last week? Wins over ucks and bruins worth NO CHANGE!
Gotta call BS on this!
I had to read it twice to see that it actually was posted this am, figured it wasn’t updated, but not so.
They already have oregon locked into the Portland regional, regardless of what happens in the remaining games.
Oregon essentially gets a pass for any losses where Ruthy Herbard was injured because she should be back by tournament time(whereas Kat Tudor wont play again this season) Makes sense, I guess. So if Oregon State or Standord overtake Oregon for the conference title, oregon still gets the favorable seed. Why bother playing the remaining games?
The bobcat is the usual workhorse. Old blue has a box blade, a back-hoe and a one yard bucket. I haven’t had to dig any holes or trenches in several years. And regrading is just a quick skim every year. So getting to play in the snow is just fun.
This is smart for the big12, they can play an fcs caliber school without that cannon foder tag. And it looks better for the playoff race. And we get more injuries but do get to see schools like Oklahoma in corvallis…..so theres that.
This is the big12 being proactive to lockup arguably the weakest power5 conference in football. What looks better on a resume a win over an fcs school or a win over OSU? I know they’re kind of the same.
To me it sounds like this might be something that getting serious traction, as far as no more fcs schools or better resume building for the playoff push.
The ACC is by far the weakest P5 conference. It’s not even close. The Big12 and Pac were about equal… last year. It’s hard to tell what the SEC is, because their SOS is so very weak (while also overrated in order to inflate numbers).
Or each team from both conferences should schedule one FCS team and have the two remaining non-conference games be with teams from the other conference. That’ll ensure that each team has the opportunity to schedule 7 home games.
Lundeberg up with a podcast discussion of the mental aspects of baseball with Tyler Graham.
34 minutes of positivity and good advice. Graham may be the closet thing to a sports psychologist on staff.
He says 8-10 guys are using meditation on a daily basis, highlights the approach taken by Kevin Abel.
The coach everyone hates in the BIG, just made a lot of fans happy……..because they agree.
Default SI: Fran McCaffery Calls Official a ‘Cheating Motherf—–‘ After Loss to Ohio State
per SI:
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery wasn’t very pleased with the officiating during the No. 22 Hawkeyes’ 90–70 loss to Ohio State on Tuesday.
Down 78–67 with 4:08 left to play, the Hawkeyes’ frustrating evening culminated with two McCaffery technical fouls. The first was called on the coach’s son, Connor, then on Fran himself in a span of 58 seconds for disputing calls.
After the game, Fran McCaffery was heard screaming at an official walking down a hallway at Value City Arena.
“You cheating motherf——!” McCaffery reportedly yelled. “You’re a f—— disgrace!”
The Buckeyes were averaging 63.7 points in conference games entering Tuesday’s matchup. They had that many points with just over 10 minutes left to play against Iowa. Ohio State scored 22 points during one stretch of nine possessions to pull away in the second half. Iowa got no closer than 11 points to close out the game.
Lost to Austin Peay, VCU, and UCF respectively. VCU is a decent program with last tournament appearance in 2015. And same with UCF, last appearance in 2017. Losing to Austin Peay is somewhat of an embarrassment, but good for them.
All good, need the bad guys to keep tallying up these mediocre losses.
You can buy a $20 GA ticket in right field at Vivid Seats. I’ve used them for sports, concert tickets etc. Either print at home or download to your phone, each event varies. After the second or third inning meander over to the the better seats for a “tennis shoe” upgrade.
Seatgeek usually has decent deals too.
If you end up sitting in those outfield bleacher seats, the tennis shoe upgrade wont work, because the rest of the stadium isnt accessible from the outfield bleachers, unless you go through the Goss main gates and have a ticket to go inside.
So what are we thinking?
Game thread for the AZ home series, or no game thread?
(Assuming Angry is away and needs somebody else to start a thread if/when needed)
Go Beavs!
go team
You Suckkkkkkk!
Go beavs
Hopefully we avoid the new game thread curse this time.
GoBeavs
Not looking good so far. How do we not have a plan to attack a zone? We’re almost to March
It’s the talent.
Go. Beavs.
Matching tesm’s intensity.
Tinkle Sr.hitting local boyz a bunch?
Let’s have all games on fs1 and get rid of pac 12 network. These guys know basketball and aren’t annoying.
Can’t say anything positive about that first half. I don’t get how they don’t have anything other than passing it around the perimeter until taking a 35 three.
FUCLA whistled for 2 fouls in the first half. Beavs shoot zero FT’s.
If I were WT I’d have already been tossed out of the gym. Absolute BS
I agree with you, but the Beavs also haven’t done anything to drive or draw a foul. Pretty hard to get a whistle when they just stand around the outside.
Anything?
I’m listening on the radio so I haven’t seen one iota of the game but several times in the first half (per Parker) a beaver player was knocked to the floor driving to the basket.
With 9 minutes left, FT’s………….
UCLA 14-17
Beavs 1-2
If I was WT I’d walk over to the scorers table at the next time out. Drop my pants in front of the refs, bend over and say if you’re going to fuck us how about I make it easier for you.
UCLA cheerleaders look good…
Lotsa empty seats in the stands.
ET 1 for 7, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 TOs, 2 fouls in 17 1st half minutes.
Rest of team is 12-21 FG (62%)
USC over Ducksby 17….nice. C’mon Beavs!
UCLA can’t shoot like that for a full game. FS1 doesn’t solve the presence of a PAC12 ref crew. Tinkle called for a phantom foul on a missed dunk, Ethan hacked on a couple of drives for no-calls, Tinkle with a steal at mid-court that is called a kick-ball, UCLA guys all baby hop on a 3pt shot and get away with it.
I agree that the zone offense is horrific if this were a junior high team. How is Tres not flashing from the weak-side constantly at the high post? Baseline is always open and UCLA isn’t aggressive enough to trap in the corner, so high post to baseline is always open. Half-time adjustments coming?
Go Beavs!
Baseline still open…
Time to institute the secret game plan.
I don’t know why I even watch this shit. These guys can’t finish from 2 feet, have hands made of concrete and just throw the ball all over the court. I have no idea how they’ve won 16 games.
Beavs usually have 3-4 players higher than free throw line, throw it around perimeter, baseline wide open…passes inside not used even though available.
Nobody else knows why we’re watching either…stands over half empty, this thread dead,
UCLA isn’t taking this game, Beavs giving it away. Beavs look like year 1 or 2 of tebuikd..
Thats fair. I don’t get to watch them often and am off tonight to see it, but it just feels so frustrating. Just feels like any game I actually sit down to watch is just a shitshow.
Then obviously you’re the x-factor, stop jinxing this team!
I don’t understand the college continuation rule. Most games the call a foul on the floor with no basket if the guy makes another move, but that last call was counter to most foul calls i’ve seem all year, and of course benefits ucla
Twice in 2 minutes for UCLA and ones.
I think it’s just shorty inconsistent officials.
Officiating was terrible the whole game
Vernon 3 ties it and then STJ puts Beavs up 2. Getting hot at the right time and finishing strong. UCLA appears to have blown their wad early. About 1 minute left, Bruins ball after time.
Wanna bet? Refs won’t let the Beavs win this. UCLA will prolly shoot 10 FT’s in the final minute
Even though Vernon hit the big 3, coaches kids (all of them) choose contested shot over wide open Vernon every time.
What else is new?
It’s interesting how Vernon calmly hits a three, yet we have Tres missing a key foul shot and virtually airballing his shots. I hope Vernon doesn’t transfer out, he should be starting.
Vernon has looked good all season, deserves more minutes.
Final FT count: 28-3
Absolute BS. Tough to win playing 5 on 8
28 UCLA freethrows to 3 OSU ones. Tinkle blew it not calling a timeout at the end there, too. Need to use your final timeout there and draw up a play to get the last bucket.
Tinkle full court desperation heave at buzzer and he’s clearly fouled, no call.
Still, no excuse for the team not having a final play ready when down 1 in final possession, with a timeout available, where they settle for a Tinkle deep 3 airball. That was their chance
They should have called timeout at 8-10 seconds when it was obvious they didn’t have a play. I know the team wouldn’t be where they are without Tres, but he played poorly and selfishly down the stretch.
should have saved timeout to advance ball to midcourt for last shot with one sec to go. Stupid timeout after missed FT by UCLA. those final two shots weren’t even close and all you needed was a two pointer to win not a three. Well, that’s the breaks I guess. Gave that game away at the end but this team showed lots of character coming back 3 times from 11 points down in the second half with about 11 minute to go. I think coach tinkle mismanaged the last two possessions though.
you can’t advance the ball to half court in college
Maybe he’s been watching the women’s games?
I don’t watch much womens hoops so idk if you can advance the ball to half court after a timeout. I do know that in mens college basketball you cannot.
I am seeing ignoramuses all over social media tonight questioning why WT didn’t call a TO and advance the ball to half court. Coaching 101.
Maybe because he knows the rules and you (not you mckalk) obviously don’t?
And I don’t like having to defend WT because I’ve soured on him as a coach. This team with this talent should not have 9 losses right now.
Part of that is coaching. Tonight a big part of that was one sided officiating. There is something seriously wrong when one team shoots 28 free throws and the other team only 3. UCLA was whistled for 8 personal fouls in the entire game. THE ENTIRE GAME!
You can advance it in women’s college hoops, that’s why I made the sarcastic comment.
yep, I realized my mistake a few minutes after posting comment. Ive been to 6-7 beavs WBB games so far and got the rule mixed up. Went to OSC game last night and Slocum 3 pointer with defender in her face with just 30 secs or so left was crazy. Why can’t the men shoot like that.
USC game not OSC
How about no more game threads the rest of forever! Tired of the jinx.
No argument here.
If I’m Ethan Thompson I strongly consider grad transferring for my
Final year. He will always have to play off of tres while trying to fulfill pg duties when he isn’t a true point guard. Go somewhere and play as a shooting guard with a coach that can utilize your talents.
Ethan can slide over to SG next year. ST Jr is out of eligibility next month
The team has a PG, his name is Vernon, he’s poised now, but think of how good he would be if WT had made the right call and played him from the beginning. Ethan will stay with Daddy. His final season will be without Tres anyway. I more worried about Vernon saying goodbye to the bullshit.
…think of how good he would be if WT had made the right call and played him from the beginning.
Spot on.
The difference playing even 350 minutes vs the 245 Vernon has played simply has to have provided likely improvement.
He’s intelligent, safe with the ball. Nice stroke from three and deadly at the foul line. I’m sorry, but Reichle is a marginal D-1 player. Ethan needs to be playing that position and Vernon starting.
Reichle sucks and is a one trick pony. And right now he even sucks at that. Reminds me of Angelo Sockasuckus. Or whatever his last name was. Wasted scholarship.
Reichle’s fine for what we should expect of him. The problem is that Tinks expects too much from him. It may pay off at the end of the season, if he gets hot. He’s starting to warm up now.
While Tres is the undisputed MVP of most games, the secondary players are important. Hollins was the guy who helped to win the home CW. Almost everything bounced and fell right for him that day… because he moves with a purpose. He’s going to be fun to watch as an upperclassman.
Reichle is setting up to be the heat check guy… if he can start hitting them consistently.
Someone mentioned some info about Tres being hurt for the CW and maybe not playing. I think that was Washington. His limited minutes since the Cal game would explain that story line.
Parker dreaming, “the number (FT disparity) befuddles, not just us but maybe in the league office…”
I didn’t know baskets still counted if they come five seconds after you’re fouled
That was bizarre, college refs are usually sticklers about NOT allowing any form of continuation. It was absurdly one-sided officiating, but the Beavs still should have won. My guess is Boatwright will drain a shit ton of three’s on Saturday and it will be a lost road trip for the Beavs. I said in another thread that I will believe ten wins when I see it. It’s been 29 years since they have finished better than .500 in league play, almost three effing decades!
When I saw the phantom foul on Tinkle in the first half with the missed dunk, I hoped those two points wouldn’t matter.
ST Jr and Tres combined for 40 of the Beavs 67 points. Beavs usually go 9 deep on the roster. That means your other 7 players accounted for 27 points. Just under 4 PPG average. The other 3 starters had 6, 4 and 4 points.
Bench had 13 points between 4 players. Despite the FT disparity, that is not a winning formula. Or sharing the ball.
However, a couple of players on this team seem to have limited offensive capabilities. Their names rhyme with Reichle and Rokocevic.
I suppose it is entirely possible this team doesn’t have as much talent as I thought they did. Couple that with marginal coaching and well, you get what we see.
Ra ra ree kick em in the knee. Ra ra rass kick em in the a@@
Don’t really like linking boregonian shit here but there’s some real telling quotes from players in this article……………
https://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/2019/02/free-throw-difference-has-oregon-states-wayne-tinkle-steamed-after-uclas-68-67-win.html
“They brought more physicality than we did, for sure. We faded a little when we were attacking the rim,” said OSU senior Stephen Thompson Jr., who led the Beavers with 21 points.
Said center Gligorije Rakocevic: “I would say we didn’t finish strong. We didn’t attack the rim.”
“There were a lot of plays we relaxed on and took for granted. Those plays come to haunt you in close games like this,” Thompson said.
“We just didn’t come out ready to play,” Rakocevic said.
“It was like we were playing keep away. We weren’t looking to attack the gaps in the zone,” Tinkle said. “Multiple times we were having to burp up shots at the end of shot clocks.”
“Again, I’m very frustrated,” Wayne Tinkle said. “But we shot ourselves in the foot multiple, multiple times. We have to learn how to defend without fouling on the road.”
Free throw disparity aside, Why? Why, why, why is this team more often than not unprepared at the beginning of games and come out flat???? Something is obviously broke. It’s either the game plan going in, the players not sticking to said plan or the failure by the coaching staff to adjust.
I have more thoughts on this but too frustrated tonight. That was a winnable game against a flailing team drifting in the sea without a rudder. And even despite the officiating you took the lead with less than two minutes to go and couldn’t hang on. If these guys could fucking coach or play worth two squirts of piss (they way they have shown they are capable) most of the time they’d be a tournament team.
Winnable game? We should have won by 30.
This is my favorite:
“It was like we were playing keep away. We weren’t looking to attack the gaps in the zone,” Tinkle said. “Multiple times we were having to burp up shots at the end of shot clocks.”
Hmm… if only there was a person who had the power to yank leashes on the sideline… someone who could manage rotations so as to direct that kind of play. It’s too bad that person doesn’t exist.
One more loss (on top of this one and at least five others that should be wins), and it’s “Well, there’s always next year,” time.
The upgrade with Tinks has been only a couple points. CR was .469 overall, .362 in Pac play. Tinks is .480 and .388.
^^^ ^^^ THIS ^^^ ^^^
Coaches who decide to coach their children have put themselves in a place where hard decisions MUST be made if success is to be the outcome.
Sort of my thought, Tinkle may actually coach better when the coach’s kids are no longer enrolled.
He’s going to have no choice with Lucas on campus next year. He’s getting a coach’s son, but not an OSU coach’s son. The next four years are going to be fun.
Yup, it’s been more of the same or actually less minus the fluke pleasant surprise that was GP-2 (CR recruit).
Crazy story out of Florida today, where Pats owner Robert Kraft was arrested for soliciting prostitution at some massage parlor that’s been u der investigation for human trafficking and holding women as sex slaves/prisoners.

Cue the Donald Trump “This is why we need a WOLL” speech
Can’t wait to hear what “-gate” this gets turned into.
“I love you long time gate”
Best one I’ve seen was “ejacugate”
“There is video of Kraft receiving “paid acts” and being driven to the spa, police say”
Another scandal involving deflated balls.
Saw Adam Schefter is reporting Kraft isn’t the biggest name involved in this.
Yikes. Gonna get even uglier
Best evidence yet that Kraft doesn’t just pay lip service to “hard work”
Literally paying for lip service.
Suppose he payed more for the little blue pill than the service?
Baseball games start times pushed back to 2pm and 6pm due to weather

So I had the interesting experience of watching the game a bar stool away from our AD.
Did not seem too upset with the loss and seemed to have a bit of the aw shucks we were close reaction. He was sitting with a guy that does fundraising and a Asst. AD, a young guy that came from Pitt when we hired him. I eavesdropped as best I could during the first half. Takeaways…..
Still talks to GA a bunch
Thinks he is a great coach and man.
I think this confirms it was mutual parting with both trying to protect the other.
Talking about the new recruits coming in, particularly the kid setting the CA scoring records.
NO reaction about Tres passing up a 5 footer in the lane with 8-9 seconds on the shot clock, so we can bleed off more time and be forced to take a desperation shot. Scoring is the important thing.
POOR execution again.
It is amazing that the same shit is going on at MN, a player playing out of of position at the point and the solution sitting his ass on the pine. Coaches stubborn or stupid?
I guess a combination. I suppose WT would say that what he sees in practice dictates minutes on the floor, but I want to see more of Vernon. He’s a true PG, think of where he could be by now if he was playing 25 minutes a game?
Anybody have a working audio link for baseball today?
Nevermind, found one. It just took awhile to start playing.
No score, top 2nd
https://tunein.com/radio/KEJO-AM-1240-s32455/
This current Nebraska at bat has to be the longest single at-bat i’ve ever seen/heard. Been full count for quite some time, with several foul balls, and Abel has been throwing over to 1st to keep the runner honest. Gonna wear out his arm before we get to the 4th inning.
and he walks him…
Adley gets a big 3 run HR, his 3rd HR of the season.
5-0 Beavs, 5th inning
Adley Crushman!
Abel with 10 Ks so far, along with 2 walks., but then a runner is allowed on base via an error (not sure who) and then a base hit to LF drives in the run. So no hitter is dead.
5-1 Beavs, 1 out Top 6
another walk puts 2 on for Nebraska, and Abel gets the hook
The error was on Dukart for getting a ball struck in his cheek, but they now have reversed the error to a hit which gave the Huskers an Earned run. New pitcher top of the 6th. Dylan Pearce is the relief pitcher currently.
If anyone wants to hear a non biased husker sports broadcast without mistakes, give the huskers sports network on TuneIn a listen.
https://tunein.com/radio/Nebraska-CornHuskers-vs-Oregon-St-Beavers-Feb-22-2019-p1206855/
the main guy is Sharp from Sharp and Benning in the morning and he’s not a homer by any means.
In the middle of a rain delay. Warren trying his best to fill the time on the air. It’s about how you’d expect.
For reference, that podcast interview with Gebbia which Warren used to fill time, was the one recently linked here by the nicestbeaver. Done on the first signing day.
Worth the second listen!
Here’s the link:

Beavs take gm1, 8-2.
Game still to come later
To.orrow, sounds like gm3 is on espnu
Gretler appears to be the biggest loss to make up. He was so solid. Dukart has misplayed several balls and does not appear to have the arm strength of Gretler.
Abel was on. Looked great. Ump not giving the low strike. AR, another bomb.
Chamberlain was painting the plate in and out. Great play by Zac catching a fly in the Arkansas area.
Nebs starter was good. Their infield throws not so much.
Dukart seems bad at both baseball and football. From a two sport guy to a zero sport guy in a year.
Haven’t actually seen him play baseball yet, so I’ll reserve final judgment until then, but not sounding good or looking good per the boxscore.
Tanner Sanders 2.0?
No, I think he will be a good player, but there are going to be some growing pains.
The ball off Dukart’s face today was a pretty whicked hop. Not sure what else he could’ve done on that one.
Caught it in his mouth then made the throw?!?
What time does the 2nd game start?
Any audio or video?
Should start within 10 minutes. Same link from above should work. No video today
They had the audio mixed up with the wbb game for a bit, but it’s back to baseball now.

WBB doing their best imitation of the MBB, down 7-0 to start.
Now 14-0 halfway through the 1st qtr. Threes not falling.
After an MBB-like start, WBB is down just one at the half.
A difference?……….no one’s minutes are guaranteed (except, maybe Pivec…for good reason).
Anyone know if you can you purchase tix right there day of at the softball games for the Beavs?
There was a small ticket office set up at the main gate of the softball complex last year for the Oklahoma game. They’ll sell walk up tickets this year, but if you go to many of the games, a season ticket is only $50 and $30 for seniors. I enjoy softball I’m going with the season ticket. Softball is off to an 11-2 start and has a very good looking team this year.
@Old Yeller appreciate the info. I would like to support the program. Watching the women’s bball game tonight made me realize Beav fans are fortunate to have some great/successful programs to support. Good to know about the season ticket price. I hope they can keep it rolling.
WBB wins by 7. They went on an 18-4 run to close the game. Hope the men were watching.
Rueck should be paid additionally and be a gameday assistant for the men. He would be a huge upgrade both in demeanor and game strategy over Tinkle’s malpractice of game prep, rotation disaster, preferential treatment and timeouts after made buckets that always kill a momentum building run. I also get tired of seeing them give up an open 3 on a big possession (as soon as Tinkle starts waving his arms…open 3 to silence the crowd).
Rueck and Casey are such a high standard of excellence and effuse an expectation of greatness. Unfortunately for Tinkle, he will be compared to their standard.
BTW, the bald ref from the UCLA game seemed on the take last night. No call went the Beavs way from him throughout the game. Fishy. They still should have won, but that guy proves how a ref can easily and consistently impact the course of the game.
Here we go again, comparing apples and oranges, then pretending we didn’t just compare apples and oranges in order to come to an irrational conclusion.
Do you all ever get tired of it?
More like red delicious apples to honeycrisp apples because the argument is based on two different types of basketball.
Incorrect. The games are completely different. Scotty’s O would not be anything special on the men’s side. He would have to start all over and develop new systems. Could he do it? I have no doubt he could, given time. If you want to wait several years until his methods catch up to the speed of the mens game, that’s fair. But a one-for-one trade-off is not happening given all the disparities in the two very different games.
Baseball goes to 6-0. Adley’s solo shot in b8 the game winner. 5-3 final. Eisert the winner, Mulholland with the save.
UCLA WBB trailed by 22 at one point, but comes back to beat oregon at TTATT by 5. Beavs are 1 game closer to taking over the top spot in the Pac.
Anybody know the tiebreaker if the teams split head to head?
Beavs gotta worry about UCLA more than anything right now though.
Chances are Stanford wont lose again though, so I guess OSU doesnt have much of a chance to get to 1st
Apparently Ionescu shoved a teammate on her way leaving the court, after the loss.
Let the meltdown start
If true, thank god we avoided that nightmare.
Any film on that?
You all need to seek help for this petty obsession.
You’re obsessing over a WBB player… from another team. I can’t describe how boring this is.
Now you know our pain. It’s like when you go off your meds and rant until the sun comes up….
Rare situation where you’re both right!
Well put…
Her stupidity isn’t in my face daily, as is Dumbshit’s. If his stupidity, cowardice and dishonor bore you, get used to it. He’s there by someone’s choice, and what they’ve chosen is their ridiculous victimhood, in all its whiny, fear-based idiocy.
So much fucking whining… and no work. I would say all hat and no cattle, but Dumbshit’s hats don’t even claim cattle. They just emanate his American Carnage vision… and rightly get it thrown back in their faces.
YOU are the only one whining here!
Sorry… did you say something?
I’ll admit it, I take pleasure in hearing of Duck dysfunction. What’s the billing code for that medical issue?
DD?

Got a kick out of the twitter comment………“…the Fighting ATM’s of Phil Knight University.”
We didn’t but Rueck did; the pwo for twin brother, rumor of her high school coach coming with her, playing programs until the last minute . . . naah
Anybody keeping track of the success of pinch hitters so far? I know Bailey was 3 for 3 in the first game and see that Fuchs got another pinch hit hit (RBI, to boot) yesterday.
Small sample and I’ve missed several innings but it seems the PH decisions have been an overall positive………so far.
/////////// ///////////
ADD: WHOA ! In checking the box score from yesterday I find that Mark Buchanan was the 1b ump. If that name rings a bell, I’ll just ask if you can spell B E A K I N G. I’m, sure Casey can.
If normal rotation holds, Buchanan will be behind the plate today.
Hope fans are gentle, he is very sensitive!
He hasn’t Fuched up so far.
Ron Callan, the WBB play by play radio guy, has sung the national anthems of Canada and Germany for departing seniors. This Sunday he’ll sing the Polish na to honor senior Jo Grymek.
He will sing before the game and I doubt it will be on TV, but certainly worth getting to Gill early if you are going.
Thats a pretty cool thing to do.
#gobeavs
Why does Stevie T look as skinny today as the first day he stepped on campus?
Inning 2, For those wondering why Zack T plays, you should have seen the spectacular play on a pop up bunt. Dove and caught it halfway down the first base line. Nebraska then tried to steal on Adley. Perfect bullet right on target.
And he comes through with an RBI single in the 3rd to make it 5-0. Beavs still batting
Beavs up on #TPB 10-0
Nebraska corn peelers the school that keeps on giving:
You want Mr. Riley gone they’ll make that happen
You want players they giving them up
You want baseball wins they’ll give them
And a giant schadenfreude cherry on top! :-)
Pain is what happens when you take form OSU ha.
it is almost like a plague. Hey, you want Riley ok sure he did well at OSU
fast forward your team is losing player to OSU.
What black magic is this.
Wart for the team is bunting. Have not executed one properly yet. Another pop out tonight.
Yep you are right bunting has been a problem so far eye-roll.
No I know what you mean what else is there to point out.
starters not going deep..it is still earlier no problem there we’ll see if this is a problem later
I don’t me to be rude to the players but they are playing guys I have no idea whom they are or where on the team. This a good thing
It is a significant skill that OSU always seems do exceptionally well, so it is remarkable to see them struggle with it.
BG, was that you at the game tonight with the Minnesota hat and orange jacket? Or maybe there’s more than one beavergopher out there.
That was my twin Gopherbeaver.
Was that you with high white collar, black frock, and gigantic crucifix around your neck?
Possibly. I did wear everything in my closet trying to stay warm last night.
Pinch hitting in the b7: Zalesky a single, Claunch a K, Fuchs a bb, Ober an RBI SacFly.
On to the t8, 13-1 good guys.
So at what point do they just end this 15-1 and the wheels have come off for the corn boys.
Pinch hitting in the b8: Meckler an IF single, Dukart an RBI single.
Is the degree of success of ph due to a wise Bailey? General talent? Caliber of the opposition? Time of the year?
On to the t9, 17-1, early start tomorrow
17-1, Sam T. gets the W and Walling a decent line in a short appearance.
And, the dastardly Mark Buchanan couldn’t do a thing about it……at least, he didn’t do a thing about it! But, he’ll likely be at 3b tomorrow, he’s especially dangerous there!
Aren’t the men something like 0-3 when being worthy of a game thread, angry?
Hey, Scotty enough of that talk. They’ll tell you when it is equal
OT – don’t know if this was posted previously, but here’s an Eggers article on transfer LB Gumbs:
https://pamplinmedia.com/pt/12-sports/419855-322990-gumbs-eager-to-pump-up-oregon-state-defense
OT – Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution in a FLA massage parlor…if true, one would think someone this wealthy might have underlings arrange more discreet transactions in more upscale locations.
“The Orchids of Asia website lists “a variety of massage modalities”- including Thai, Swedish and Japanese massage, facials and reflexology – offered in “private, quiet and clean rooms”.
Police say the average cost of a one-hour visit to the spa is $79.
Mr Kerr said it was a surprise to learn the billionaire had attended the parlour, which is located in a row of shops beside a nail salon, a surf shop, a video-game store and a Thai restaurant. ”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47334897
This is the most mystifying part of it for me. You all are billionaires, and your need to have someone masturbate you is so great that you slum it in a strip mall in Florida… where it’s likely the Russian mafia is trafficking humans.
I mean… what the hell, people?
He probably eats at McDonalds occasionally too. Sometimes you just want a BigMac
Ewww… Big Mac? When I was in college, and 2 for $2 was an option, it was better than ramen, for about three days. Special sauce gained new meaning.
I can hear Kraft now:: “Driver, drop me at the McDonald’s near the Thai massage parlor. I need, um, a Big Mac. Bad.”
Driver: “But sir, you could have steak au poivre in the privacy of your suite?”
Kraft: Nope! Big mac. Now!”
His girlfriend Ricki Lander is not bad looking either. She won’t go near his junk for a while that’s for sure. Dude’s an idiot.
Saw another article and it is apparently a human trafficking site…what a scumbag.
Well, because he’s a friend of the POTUS, he can probably tell him a wall on the US/Mexcian border won’t stop this kind of illegal immigration of which he was just a victim, and that perhaps in conversations with Russia the POTUS or his shoe lickers could ask them to please stop this whole trafficking business….clearly they’re both invested in this issue. Although Kraft apparently invests $79 at a time…
Anyone had Heinz Ketchup since Kraft bought them? Most vile.
It used to be the gold standard for disgusting, store bought ketchup.
We use Portland for ketchup although even that doesn’t get used much
I make my own. It’s the only way to go.
We only use ketchup for making bbq sauce. Portland is excellent for that.
The ownership of Kraft/Heinz, btw, is Buffet and 3G. Buffet made a deal he spent a lifetime criticizing. While it’s worked out on one deal, Kraft/Heinz also had a very bad day earlier this week. It was just a bad day for Krafts.
Red Duck ketchup is tasty.
It is. But it’s a little steep.
BASEBALL: Already 5-1 good guys, they’ve scored more runs than outs today!
Man what a start
I’ve suggested this before, but I really think it would be beneficial for Smith to take the football team to games like recent UO WBB @ OSU, or take them to a baseball game….”See, this is how a PROGRAM and a TEAM perform…” then discuss with them after what makes these programs/teams successful.
I don’t know how much of this kind of this cross program interaction occurs with this kind of intention. Hell, maybe even a good AD could facilitate it?
If he were coaching a team of first graders this would be an excellent idea.
“then discuss with them after what makes these programs/teams successful”
Talent to a large extent
Men’s bball pretty much guaranteed a winning conference record with yesterday’s win. Definitely locked into the nit, which is good.
If they can beat the Huskies in Seattle, they’ll have a decent shot to win the tourney next month.
So……no game thread for that game in Seattle? Angry will be traveling, so your wish is my command!
hey I’d type on this great sit more but I don’t want to fill it with my tomfoolery.
Thanks for keeping the game going for oneoldbeavs
I’m just hoping they can make it a game unlike the last time they played. With Wazzu playing halfway decent, this will be the toughest road trip of the year.
Anyone going to OSU Baseball in Seattle early next month? Looks like a good lineup…kind of tempting.
Preston Jones with his second double today to leadoff the b6, a foot inside the 3b line. A missed opportunity for Buchanan to cause a fuss.
5-3 good guys.
EDIT/ADD: McGarry HR brings Jones home, 7-3 now. McGarry is hot hitting .577 and leading the Beavs in RBI’s
7-3 Beavers
Corn peelers with one out one on 2nd
ice man on the hill
I’ll not post the song

Ok the wheels have come off for the Corn Boys 8-3.
Who do they have left in their pen?
Who is this fool doing baseball play-by-play for the Beavs? He has no clue as to WTF is going on!
Jon Warren, does the weekday program with Mike Parker. I believe this is his third spring doing these games. Get used to it, he’ll likely do at least 8 more before Parker finishes with MBB.
I’d like to hear Ron Callan do these games but he is busy with WBB. You can sample his work at 1pm today, should be a great game vs Bruins. Important in national rankings, if you care about such things.
Callan is not that bad usually, at lease he’s better than listening to Walton on some of the men’s broadcasts.
And he sings national anthems in other languages, wonder if Bill has tried that?
Don’t give him any ideas
@bg: You’re right, my bad.
Sees like a nice guy but he must have a fill-in-the-blanks page, “and here come the __________”
He often describes the play before,finally, the results. However, I think OSU has the most complete audio coverage in the Pac-12.
Oh Jon is doing all right the scores are so high does it matter?
Not to be rude to Jon he is just not a numbers guy. Like he was point out that is what this is for
http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=248106
Maybe, but he can’t even do that right sometimes.
Being not a numbers guy while announcing baseball is sort of the problem. Baseball is nothing but numbers.
I’ll bet Jon would tell you he is a numbers guy. If you’ve ever listened to the weekday Joe Beaver Show he does with Parker, you’ll remember dozens of times he has explained the finer details of how difficult it is to coordinate the technical aspects of that production. Seems to believe he is an IT genius.
FWIW, nicebeaver has retweeted at the top of this page a tweet from Josh Worden. He is the support staff for the JBS and frequently fills in for either Jon or Mike; now this guy has a voice for radio and seems pretty sharp. He does some HS play by play and I look forward to the day he does a Beavs game. With just a little experience I think he’d best good old Jon. JMHO.
Verburg on to pitch the t9, 8-3 Beavs.
Verburg strikes out the side despite giving up a single. Beavs stay undefeated.
My oldest did that in Little League Struck out the side….and walked in 8 runs!
Nebraska will offer him soon.
Good game Beavers
There was a lot to take away from the weekend.
They sure did take away a lot from Nebraska
Those poor bastards.
They probably got a boost in rankings from whatever stupid metrics just from playing us 4 times.
Speaking of boosts in rankings from stupid metrics. 2 loss oregon is ranked #2 RPI despite losing twice already. Because they lost to 1 loss Texas Tech which is #1 RPI.
https://twitter.com/FearTheWaveBlog/status/1100603891358388224?s=19
Some strange no calls by the refs in the ladies game.
Woohoo! WBB wins again!
Good games for the seniors.
KT 14pts
Jo 34 minutes, 10pts, 6rebs
The box score also shows Jo with 7 blocks!
Can’t believe McWilliams is a senior already…
23-5 while missing Tudor since WSU and with 9 players on the roster….
@ ASU will be a good one.
Tudor. :(

Rough sports weekend for Beav fans. Probably should discuss dropping out of the Pac-12 so we can be competitive in something.
“muh track champeeeennns!”
I’m assuming this is sarcasm or stupidity
If you watched any beav sports this weekend you witnessed all wins by multiple programs. So yes I was using a little sarcasm. The topic has been bought up on here before about the Beavs dropping out of the pac and I think it’s a dumb topic to bring up. Usually comes up during football season. Osu is fantastic at many things including a variety of athletics and academics. Go Beavs!
It is a dumb topic when brought up, most of the time. What people don’t realize is that the Pac regents would sooner kick out an insufficient academic contributor to the conference than one who wins or loses at games of some kind. So there is some irony that those who troll here with that topic are most likely to be from the school most likely to be kicked out of the conference, if there were ever a reason for it to come to that.
Suffice it to say, the majority of the Pac would rather drop the sport of football than kick out OSU (or anyone, frankly).
….and where would another win football come from?
The UCLA loss was another kick in the nards. But it wasn’t the first this season… or unexpected.
Anyone know if chad Johnson jr is coming to the spring game in connection with a possible offer? I read it’s unofficial and it seems like the Beavs never went after him like I thought they would.
@nicebeaver I haven’t seen you post anything about him and you are usually in the known so
I’m a bit suspicious it’s an attempt for him to drum up some attention.
We were the first team to offer him, i believe. But I’m skeptical he’ll end up a Beaver in the end. Was an ASU verbal commit, and apparently isn’t anymore. But who knows. Some guys love the attention recruiting brings.
“Some guys love the attention recruiting brings.”
If hes anything like his dad…….
I think his April 20th trip is exactly that. Drum up some new attention to his name. Ironic he will be visiting on 4.20….?
the optimist might say he wants to check out Gebbia & Luton and see if OSU has a legit D1 QB….
The realist suggests he wants more attention.
Beavs WBB not getting a very favorable seeding, at this point. 3 seed playing in the Albany, NY regional, matched up with the #1 overall seed, UCONN. 1st round would be in Corvallis, but sending them across the country as the only west coast team in that bracket seems like a crappy draw.
Oregon, by contrast, would play 1st round in Eugene as a #2 seed and then move to Portland for their regional, with Notre Dame as the top seed in that bracket.

No change from last week? Wins over ucks and bruins worth NO CHANGE!
Gotta call BS on this!
I had to read it twice to see that it actually was posted this am, figured it wasn’t updated, but not so.
They already have oregon locked into the Portland regional, regardless of what happens in the remaining games.
Oregon essentially gets a pass for any losses where Ruthy Herbard was injured because she should be back by tournament time(whereas Kat Tudor wont play again this season) Makes sense, I guess. So if Oregon State or Standord overtake Oregon for the conference title, oregon still gets the favorable seed. Why bother playing the remaining games?

Beavs have a shot at the #2 seed in the Portland regional.
Need to win out reg season. Will likely be the #3 seed in the pac 12 since they don’t hold any tiebreakers vs Stanford or Oregon.
Win the conference tourney. They would have to beat Stanford and Oregon in consecutive games. That’s enough to get the #2 seed.
Would your scenario mean Beavs and ducks both in PDX?
No, Oregon would be shipped off to another region as a#2. I don’t think they can drop to a 3 at all.
Beavs would also need help from a couple other teams in front of them to climb to a 2 seed.
In more reasonable WBB news: Aleah Goodman named player of the week. Well deserved.

Friday’s game v west Virginia should be a fun one to go to. WVU starting pitcher is a borderline first rounder.
Throws gas but only recently regarded as a top prospect.
Hey, looks like the weather should cooperate for the weekend games. Not much chance for rain forecasted
Will also be nice to see this McGarry kid. See if his bat travels home.

Woo hoo! I spent two hours on the old blue Ford 450. I forgot how much fun it is.
No power for another two to three days! Branches down all over the place. It’s a friggin mess out there.
I love it.
Haven’t heard you mention old blue before. You building, driving, restoring, trying to balance multi carbs?
The bobcat is the usual workhorse. Old blue has a box blade, a back-hoe and a one yard bucket. I haven’t had to dig any holes or trenches in several years. And regrading is just a quick skim every year. So getting to play in the snow is just fun.
Yeah we’ve had no power for going on 2 days now.
So the old lady lost 50 pounds and looks good in that blue nighty? Didn’t realize your last name was Ford.
Hey you stay safe Jack if you can’t keep careful in your 450.

This is smart for the big12, they can play an fcs caliber school without that cannon foder tag. And it looks better for the playoff race. And we get more injuries but do get to see schools like Oklahoma in corvallis…..so theres that.
Only works if all other power 5 conferences do the same.
But a good outside the box idea.
This is the big12 being proactive to lockup arguably the weakest power5 conference in football. What looks better on a resume a win over an fcs school or a win over OSU? I know they’re kind of the same.
To me it sounds like this might be something that getting serious traction, as far as no more fcs schools or better resume building for the playoff push.
The ACC is by far the weakest P5 conference. It’s not even close. The Big12 and Pac were about equal… last year. It’s hard to tell what the SEC is, because their SOS is so very weak (while also overrated in order to inflate numbers).
Or each team from both conferences should schedule one FCS team and have the two remaining non-conference games be with teams from the other conference. That’ll ensure that each team has the opportunity to schedule 7 home games.
Wow. What a horrible idea. Add extra losses to both conferences and see no teams all year every year other than from those two conferences.
No thanks.
Nemak is still an idiot… Feel bad for the lad, tinder is a cruel, cruel world
Do tell! Did he swipe left on some duck athletes “on accident”?
There’s a link out there of Matt Boyd striking out Michael Conforto – MB w big smile.

How did Madrigal do yesterday? At one point, I heard 2 hits, thrown out stealing….
Lundeberg up with a podcast discussion of the mental aspects of baseball with Tyler Graham.
34 minutes of positivity and good advice. Graham may be the closet thing to a sports psychologist on staff.
He says 8-10 guys are using meditation on a daily basis, highlights the approach taken by Kevin Abel.

The coach everyone hates in the BIG, just made a lot of fans happy……..because they agree.
Default SI: Fran McCaffery Calls Official a ‘Cheating Motherf—–‘ After Loss to Ohio State
per SI:
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery wasn’t very pleased with the officiating during the No. 22 Hawkeyes’ 90–70 loss to Ohio State on Tuesday.
Down 78–67 with 4:08 left to play, the Hawkeyes’ frustrating evening culminated with two McCaffery technical fouls. The first was called on the coach’s son, Connor, then on Fran himself in a span of 58 seconds for disputing calls.
After the game, Fran McCaffery was heard screaming at an official walking down a hallway at Value City Arena.
“You cheating motherf——!” McCaffery reportedly yelled. “You’re a f—— disgrace!”
The Buckeyes were averaging 63.7 points in conference games entering Tuesday’s matchup. They had that many points with just over 10 minutes left to play against Iowa. Ohio State scored 22 points during one stretch of nine possessions to pull away in the second half. Iowa got no closer than 11 points to close out the game.

I guess he’s never seen Pac officials?
I mean, it may just be they’re incompetent boobs. We see that on the daily with anything played in the Pac 12.
Baseball America’s #1 Vandy, #4 North Carolina, and #5 Florida all lost today.
…So expect those teams to maintain their same ranking and the teams that beat them to rise in the rankings.
Lost to Austin Peay, VCU, and UCF respectively. VCU is a decent program with last tournament appearance in 2015. And same with UCF, last appearance in 2017. Losing to Austin Peay is somewhat of an embarrassment, but good for them.
All good, need the bad guys to keep tallying up these mediocre losses.
Hey you know they have to because the SEC and ACC be hard
Ok I’m lazy and don’t want to write the ticket office but you think one can get tickets to Sat by walking up or better to see over the fence?
You can buy a $20 GA ticket in right field at Vivid Seats. I’ve used them for sports, concert tickets etc. Either print at home or download to your phone, each event varies. After the second or third inning meander over to the the better seats for a “tennis shoe” upgrade.
Seatgeek usually has decent deals too.
If you end up sitting in those outfield bleacher seats, the tennis shoe upgrade wont work, because the rest of the stadium isnt accessible from the outfield bleachers, unless you go through the Goss main gates and have a ticket to go inside.

Good for concerts. Snagged 6 tix to Robin Trower in PDX in May
Used them for quite a few shows lately
Nice writeup on Beav baseball by Mike Rooney from Perfect Game

More evidence he will return at some point:
“And their Hall of Fame coach is on what appears to be a one-year sabbatical.”
Men’s favored by 4.5 vs Arizona tonight. Hopefully they don’t blow it like they did vs Stanford.
So what are we thinking?
