Beavers hold on to a 2 seed, at least for now, in the aftermath of meltdown as Stanford
The 22 point loss Oregon State suffered against Stanford Friday night probably kicked any faint hope of a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament down the road, but the national respect that Stanford has means the Beavers weren't penalized too harshly for the clunker, at least after they eventually pulled it together at California, and pulled away for the 10 point win that still seized their lions share of the Pac-12 regular season title, and the #1 seed in Seattle for this week's Pac-12 Tournament when UCLA upset Arizona State.
