Beavers Win!

The Oregon State men's basketball team won it's first PAC-10 conference game in almost 23 months today as the beavers overcame a double digit lead by USC in the second half with some great poise and discipline and a huge 3-point shot with 2 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Craig Robinson has his players believing in his system and playing with confidence. So far that has been good enough for this team to come out and start the Craig Robinson era at Oregon State with a 5-5 preseason record and a 1-1 start to the PAC-10 season. Only time will tell what Craig Robinson can do with this once proud winning tradition that was Oregon State basketball some 18 years ago. But for now, it is a good start.

Next the Beavers have to travel to Arizona State and Arizona before returning home to face the Cougars and Huskies at Gill. So far this season the Beavers have only one road win at Fresno State. We will see if Coach Robinson and company can get another win on the road.

Congrats Mr. Robinson.
