Beavers with a huge road test against 17th ranked Arizona!

 The Beavers had their most impressive win of the year last friday when they outperformed their rival Oregon 76-64. Oregon State showed the nation they are much better than last year's injury-ridden team. Now can they take that victory and the momentum that comes with it....and head into the McKale center and upset 17th-ranked Arizona. I mean look at the players who stepped up against the Ducks!

 Tres Tinkle posted his seventh career double-double with a game-high 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Beavers (10-5, 2-1 Pac-12). Drew Eubanks had 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots, Stephen Thompson Jr. added 16 points and Seth Berger scored an Oregon State career-high 12 points. Thompson Jr. became the 40th Oregon State player to score 1,000 career points when he converted a fast break layup in the first half. Kendal Manuel, who missed the last two games win a groin injury, scored all nine of his points in the second half, going 3-for-5 from the field and 2-for-2 from beyond the arc
