On a night in which Oregon State shot well from deep and also had the benefit of some big-time blocks, it was poor rebounding and late-game mistakes that ultimately doomed the Beavers. Oregon State's 75-68 loss extends a road losing streak that has lasted almost two years, and the Beavers have their backs firmly against the wall heading into the home stretch of the season.
At 13-12, Oregon State has five more games to play before their conference tournament. I'm no bracketologist, but I think the Beavers need to win four of those five and get to 17 regular-season wins, then get at least two wins in the conference tournament to hit the 19-win mark to even have an outside chance to make the Big Dance.
