#12 seed Oregon State has made a legendary run through both the Pac-12 Tournament and now the NCAA Tournament and it will continue this week, as the Beavers will match-up with #8 seed Loyola Chicago on Saturday at 11:40 AM PT. The game will be played at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the site of their “Round of 64” win over Tennessee, and will be televised nationally on CBS.
Obviously, both teams enter with some serious wind in their sails, as Oregon State has won five straight contests and 8 of their last 9 games overall. They’ve dropped just one game since their February 20th defeat versus Colorado and are not only playing their best basketball of the year, but maybe of head coach Wayne Tinkle’s entire tenure in Corvallis.
