CORVALLIS — Scott Rueck could not deny the variety of emotions that surrounded Sunday.
Hours before Oregon State's crucial contest against No. 12 UCLA, the Beavers coach felt pressure. As the Beavers' senior class entered the court for a pregame celebration, pride. In the frenzied opening minutes, jitters.
By the end of the night, satisfaction.
The No. 7 Beavers accomplished a slew of feats during Sunday night's 64-54 victory over the Bruins. They avenged a 20-point early-January throttling at the hands of UCLA, the Beavers' worst defeat in more than two years and their only Pac-12 loss so far this season.
