Numbers to Know: Oregon State (11-7) vs. UCLA (13-6)

Every conference has that team that—while rarely the more talented team from top to bottom—manages to keep games close through a combination of physical play and a willingness to win ugly.

In the Pac-12, Oregon State has quickly become that team. They don't have the program prestige of an Arizona or a UCLA, nor do they have the raw talent that an Oregon or an Arizona State does, but they do have workhorses.

Tonight, while hosting UCLA, the Beavers went to work. Their 69-63 victory wasn't very pretty, and it wasn't always fun to watch, but it was victory nonetheless.
