At the eleventh hour, Oregon State’s opening day opponent got switched to California, meaning that the Beavers will now start the 2020-2021 campaign with a non-conference tilt against a Pac-12 foe and their match-up with Northwest University (NAIA) will be moved to Friday morning.
Focusing on the Golden Bears, the test obviously becomes much tougher, especially as the Beavers will now be tasked with stopping guard Matt Bradley, a likely All-Pac-12 talent featured below in our Player To Watch and the rest of a rising California squad.
Around Bradley, forward Andre Kelly also returns as a versatile oversized wing piece, as does Grant Anticevich, who will serve in a similar spot.
