Everyone has some egg on their face after this morning's breakfast. Or do we?

Eh. Fans can't be held accountable for knowing which of Sybil's 12 personalities (reference alert: Google is your friend) would show up last night. Beaver fans, and their cynicism of a Stanford blowout, are exonerated.

Personally, I'm more disturbed that I've become so emotional about Craig Robinson. I started out loving the guy for his recruiting prowess, then the love turned to anger after his dubious substitution patterns, and now I'm just up and down with every win or loss. It can't be this way…we need to choose sides. I'm withdrawing into the "needs one year with his own recruits" corner and staying there this time, dammit. Anyone have some shackles? Rope would suffice.

So today the Beavs take on Arizona at 2:30pm. The win versus the Wildcats earlier this season will at least remind the Beavs they can in fact beat this opponent. However, the teams took two distinct, divergent paths after that contest. The Beavers became known, nationally, as a dysfunctional mess–a "Bad News Beavers" of sorts–and their demagogue head coach suddenly found himself on the proverbial hot seat alert. Arizona, meanwhile, gelled and went on to win a conference title.

What will matter is how much growth and confidence can be had from a tournament win versus Stanford. Probably not much considering it was an 8 versus 9 game. I'm reminded of a fight I got into as a kid. I was about 5"8 at the time and knocked out a porky, 5"9 bully. Is that really a big deal? Like a zinc penny, it's worth something, but not a whole lot.

What I expect to see tonight is a fatigued Beav squad. We'll probably see more of the dreaded seniors for that reason, and we'll hate on Craig Robinson for it. I also anticipate Arizona getting every borderline call, while the Beavers sink further into madness and get every borderline…personality disorder? Would you like an order of borderline with your schizophrenia this morning, Mister Robinson?

The great thing about mental illness, so I'm told, is that some days you feel fantastic, many times coupled with delusions of grandeur. Come on mania, rear your beautiful head!

I can't believe this is what I'm left rooting for.

Oh well, Go Beavs?

As many of you know on Wednesday evening the Beavers will take on Stanford at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. For those unfamiliar with the seeding and rules, here they are:

1. The top six teams get first-round byes.
2. The bottom four teams play each other (7th place vs 10th place, 8th place vs 9th place) the first night of the tournament.
3. The winners of the games will play the top two seeds (1st place vs 8/9 winner, 2nd place vs 7/10 winner).
4. The other second round matchups will be the 3rd place team vs. the 6th place team, and the 4th place team vs the 5th place team.
5. Semifinal matchups will be the winner of the 1 vs. 8/9 game against the winner of the 4/5 game, and the winner of the 2 vs. 7/10 game against the winner of the 3/6 game.

This team lost the fan base months ago, so there's very little buzz about this game, but the die hards will be tuning in hoping for a couple upsets–there's that pesky word again. After it became clear (during the out of conference schedule) that the Beavers had a bad squad with poor leadership, all I wanted was them to incrementally improve throughout the season, so that come the tournament we'd have a reason for excitement. Instead, they are playing arguably their worst ball of the season.

Which leaves us in a predicament: many fans are conflicted over rooting for the Beavs to win (because, well, they love the Beavs) and rooting for the Beavs to be blown out so Craig Robinson gets run out of town. Most will probably root for the former because they know Oregon State is poor and won't hire another coach for two years. Either way, the stakes are lose/lose. So why watch? Well, I am a masochistic die hard. Likely, so are you. If nothing else tune in to watch the absurdity and laughs.

Anyway, I'm not going to throw out any predictions on this one. I'm done trying to understand schizophrenia. Instead, let's turn the tide and let you guys take a shot at predicting the outcome. Winner gets a virtual pat on the back, a "thumbs up", and a letter of recommendation for Oregon State's nonexistent sport's psychologist position.

Craig Robinson has officially lost his team.

Rumor is the Beavs will be without Jared Cunningham, Ahmad Starks, Devon Collier, Calvin Haynes, Lathan Wallace, and Daniel Deane due to team infractions.

Add the rumors of Roberto Nelson being unhappy and looking to transfer, and you have the elements of a grand ol' time at Gill.

Anyway, if you want to watch the disarray (out of morbid curiosity), you're in luck–today's game will be streamed live on this website: http://foxsportsarizona.com
