As exhaustion in the midst of conference play sets in for most teams, Oregon State and Stanford both head into Thursday night’s league contest with losing streaks in tow.
The Beavers have dropped their last two straight contests and four of their last five games overall. The Cardinal spoiled a recent five-game winning streak with three-straight defeats. It’s a case of something’s got-to-give at Maples Pavilion, when a roller-coaster Stanford squad welcomes a rebuilding Oregon State program to it’s friendly confines.
The key match-up in this one should come on the interior, where the Beavers’ regular wrecking crew of Tres Tinkle and Drew Eubanks, will have a formidable group of adversaries to deal with all night long.
