The long, losing streak was finally broken by Oregon State on Sunday night in Corvallis, when the Beavers knocked off Utah in impressive fashion, with help from some late-game heroics from sophomore guard Stephen Thompson Jr.. Now, Oregon State will try to make it two-in-a-row on Wednesday evening against Stanford, this time, in the friendly confines of Maples Pavilion. Can the Beavers figure out their road woes against a Cardinal team coming off an impressive victory over rival California?
It was a stunning victory over the Golden Bears for Stanford, who had lost five of their six games previous and were entering one of their roughest patches of the season, but the Cardinal now have a legitimate potential to finish the 2016-2017 campaign on a high note.
