    Week 16 - Feb 19 to 25 (games, conf standings, NET)

    l don' t think it's a reach for me to say that there is a strong possibility the Stanford at Oregon State game will determine if Stanford stands alone as P-12 champs, or if there is a 2-team or 3-team shared conference title. You can quote me on this. If Beers returns at full strengh, there is...

    Week 16 - Feb 19 to 25 (games, conf standings, NET)

    With Stanford's loss to AZ tonight, the Stanford at Oregon state game once looms large as a way for the Beavers to earn a co-championship with the Cardinal or the real possibiltiiy of a 3 team championship if USC wins out.

    What a bad team. Ducks are pretty much finished - dead and buried in the Graves yard. His days are numbered.

    Pac 12 as we know it: 23-24 Season Outlook

    A strange game by some measures; Oregon St. starters were 0 of 7 from 3 point range, while the subs were 8 of 11. Cal led OSU by 14 points with only 4 minutes remaining in the 3rd period, but could not hold the lead. OSU's starters scored only 25 points, while the bench scored 46 points! 3...

    Week 10 - Jan 8 to 14

    Great double overtime win by Oregon State over Arizona! Beers finally came alive in the second half and carried the team in the 2 overtime periods. She had a 20/20 (points/rebounds). If you didn't see this game, you missed a doozi!

    Week 8 - Dec 25 to 31

    The coast to coast and heartland travel schedules for all sports for former Pac-12 schools Stanford, Cal, OR, WA, UCLA and USC are going to drive the players and coaches bonkers. I think Stanford and Cal should have stuck it out with OSU and WSU, but maybe their academic snobbery didn't allow...

    Week 9 - Jan 1 to 7

    Oregon state @ USC and @ UCLA this weekend. Grab your popcorn! Oregon State is the only remaining unbeaten team (now 12-0) not ranked in the top 25 of either poll. However, their schedule has been pretty weak so far. Even the Beavers win against Villanova is turning out to be less noteworthy...

    Iowa 76 - Michigan St 73

    Without the bad call against MSU the game could have been decided in favor of MSU within a reasonable set of possibilities. We will never know what the outcome would have been, but I can easily imagine several realistic, possible scenerios where MSU wins or the game goes into overtime if the...

    Iowa 76 - Michigan St 73

    Dawn Staley has a point. The refs practically handed the win to Iowa (or at least made things more favorable for Iowa and more stressful and difficult for MSU at the end of the game) when, with around 30 seconds left to play and MSU and Iowa tied at 71-71, a phantom "in the act of shooting"...

    Week 8 - Dec 25 to 31

    Oregon State Beavers shot horribly in the first half, missing many open shots. At the halftime break, Coach Rueck chalked up the poor performance, at least in part, to Oregon's length disrupting the Beavers game (just like it did to Portland and Santa Clara...oh wait, a much smaller Portland...

    Pac 12 as we know it: 23-24 Season Outlook

    What do the four best teams (UCLA, USC, COLORADO, UTAH) in the conference all have in common? Each of them plays Stanford only one time. Hence, Stanford has the EASIEST SCHEDULE IN THE CONFERENCE. Sure, Cal plays the same 4 teams only one time as well, but Cal plays Stanford twice, which makes...

    Pac 12 Conference Outlook

    it is annoying, if not frustrating, that almost every time I read comments reviewing the UCLA loss to Oregon State at Oregon State, the author not so subtly suggests or implies that if not for UCLA being without Charisma Osborne, the result would have been quite different. In other words, OSU...

    Pac 12 Conference Outlook

    Yes, questioning Rueck's use of timeouts in this game is common by a number of beaver and non-beaver fans. I have no special knowledge or incite on when or how college basketball coaches should use their timeouts....but it did seem strange. As for Timea, her final average ranking across the...

    Pac 12 Conference Outlook

    Oregon State gave the game away. Led AZ for 36 of the 40 minutes, including a 12 point lead with less than 3.5 minutes to play. Then, as happens so often with Rueck's teams against quick and/or skilled defenders, they get bitten by the turnover bug. And, OSU didn't cover the 3 point shooters...

    New school commitments by Transfers

    In a interview last year she said her wingspan was 6'10", but still very impressive for a gal who is "only" 6'3". She can dunk in practice, but never has in a game.

    PAC 12 WBB News

    Yes, a bunch of Pac-12 teams have excellent recruiting classes in 2022. I would not be suprised if 2022 is the highest ever/best ever recruiting class for the conference as a whole!!! What with UCLA #1, Oregon #2, Oregon State #3, Stanford #5, Arizona #8, Washington #14. Could it be the...

    PAC 12 WBB News

    Beavers got sweet revenge on the Ducks at Mathew Knight Arena this afternoon. Cut out their hearts just like the Ducks did to the Beavs at Gill in Corvallis Friday Night. Neither team could hold home court last year either. OSU was without their second best player, center Taylor Jones, who...

    PAC 12 WBB News

    Well, no one should be surprised how well Cal Baptist did against Oregon State. Two years ago Cal Baptist played Stanford pretty closely and only lost by a score of 83 to 78. Game stats are not that different than last night's. For example, Cal Baptist won 3 of 4 quarters against Stanford too.

    PAC-12 Coaches Ranking 1-12

    I have not attended a game in Matthew Knight Arena, but I find it difficult to understand why it is "not a fun place to watch a basketball game." I am well familiar with the Breslin Center (built in 1984 with a capacity of 15,000) on the campus of Michigan State University and it is severely...

    PAC-12 Coaches Ranking 1-12

    I'm an Oregon State fan and to a lesser extent a Michigan State fan, as I attended both schools. I post here occasionally and I pretty much agree with DefenseBB's assessment/ranking of Pac-12 coaches. This season Oregon State may have it's best roster ever in terms of potential talent and...

    Best Covers of Pop Songs

    I am a BIG Taylor Swift fan, so here is a cover of her song "Willow" from Folklore, sung by Leanne & Naara which I think is excellent, and I might rate it even slightly higher than Taylor's original.

    Here is my favorite song by Ukrainian singer Tina Karol. I love the initial guitar, vocals, scenery, melody. The words are in Russian. I urge you to give it a listen, even if is a song about love.

    Виа Гра - ЛМЛ Ok, I decided to post a 6th song by Виа Гра (Via gra). The song is in Russian and the title is ЛМЛ (cyrillic letters) translates to L.M.L. in English. I like the melody and words. In this case, I was able to find an English version, so I included it in this same post. One of the...
