Oregon State Stuns Colorado to Win Pac-12 Tournament, Steal NCAA Bid

After being picked to finish dead last in the Pac-12 preseason media poll, the Beavers are going dancing.

Oregon State finished off an improbable run to a Pac-12 tournament title by knocking off No. 23 Colorado, 70-68, in the championship game on Saturday night. The win was the Beavers' sixth in their last seven games and marked their first Pac-12 tournament win in program history.

To get to the championship game, Oregon State erased a double-digit second half deficit to beat No. 4 seed UCLA in overtime in the quarterfinals, then defeated regular season champion and arch-rival Oregon in the semifinals on Friday night.
