After starting the season with a 6-1 mark, Oregon State looked like they could potentially be headed to an NCAA Tournament type season. The Beavers had found steadiness in their veterans, production in their youth and an inspired style of play that looked to be conducive to the success of the team.
But now, after two setback losses that were decided by a combined margin of seven total points, Oregon State is looking forward with a sense of desperation and a lack of room for error. That glare into the distance has to come full circle on Monday night, when they return to their home-court at Gill Coliseum and welcome in the West Coast Conference’s, Pepperdine Waves.
