The Civil War is here, and Ducks and Beavers of both genders duke it out for Pac-10 mediocrity! The Oregon State men are exciting and have more talent in that program than they've had in quite some time, led by star recruits Jared Cunningham and Roberto Nelson. While they were woefully inconsistent at the beginning of the year, losing to the likes of Texas Southern, Utah Valley, and Seattle, they have been putting it together ever since Nelson finally gained eligibility in December and come into this game playing good ball. Their women, on the other hand, somewhat resemble the Oregon men, having lost every semblance of talent to transfer (though this happened before they fired their coach). However, they made a great hire in Scott Rueck (who led George Fox to a Division III national title), and are thus competitive despite their obvious lack of talent.
Mens Game:
The Beavers are led by sophomore Jared Cunningham, a rising star not just in the Pac-10, but nationally. He is a phenomenal scorer, both on the drive and from three (where he shoots over 45%). He is also a big defensive presence in OSU's 1-3-1 zone, leading the entire nation in steals. He is also good for at least one thunderous dunk a game. If the Beavers can finally put together a consistent effort for the entire year (and with an experienced Nelson next season, I think they finally do that), Cunningham will be a national name.
But Oregon State isn't tourney bound this year (unless the NIT or CBI comes calling), so what they are really playing for is getting Cunningham's supporting cast ready for next season. Seniors Calvin Haynes (10.8 ppg), Lathen Wallace, and Omari Johnson have played major roles for several years, and continue to do so, but slowly see their time diminished (partly to give the young guys a chance, and partially because they've been woefully inconsistent this season). The freshman Nelson finally got cleared to play after a year and a half, and finally took over the starting role against SC. Nelson has struggled at times, as you would expect from a freshman, but has many of the same skills that Cunningham possesses. He's getting better every game, and he and Cunningham are the kind of nucleus that take you deep into March as upperclassmen.
According to Pomeroy, Oregon State has an adjusted offensive efficiency of 105.7. They don't shoot the ball terribly well, ranking 276th in the country in three point percentage (not much better than Oregon's 291st). They are bad from the line (144th to Oregon's 51st), turn the ball over a lot (156th to Oregon's 38th). However, Oregon State plays fast (41st in adjusted tempo), and makes their living off steals. With their 1-3-1 confusing people, the Beavers rank first in the entire country in steals. While otherwise bad offensively, its the points that they get off these turnovers that spark the Beaver offense.
KEYS TO THE GAME
1. Take care of the basketball vs. the 1-3-1-- One of the pleasant surprises this season has been how well this team takes care of the basketball. They very rarely turn the ball over. We remember the Civil War last season, as Oregon handed the Beavers the basketball in every possible way. We know that Atlman has proven to be a good game coach. If the players can execute the game plan for the 1-3-1 (basically, getting the ball to the corner and from there to the post) without turning the ball over, Oregon State's primary weapon is neutralized. Without these turnovers to get easy buckets, the Beavers approach Oregon levels of offensive ineptitude.
2. Press, press, press -- Oregon State turns the ball over a lot. Oregon is great at forcing turnovers. Make sure this stays true to form.
3. One and done -- The Beavers will not have a significant size advantage on the Ducks, and aren't a particularly great rebounding team. When OSU shoots the ball, we have to get the ball and limit second shots.
Womens Game:
One of the cool things about the womens game today is that, by offering $2 tickets to a public that wants to see the new arena but maybe can't afford a men's game, Oregon will have a sellout for the Civil War. That's 12,500 on hand for a women's game. And while I'm not sure much of that crowd is pumped up for womens basketball, I do think that once they see what the Westhead style has to offer, they will get carried away and start to get loud. Oregon will have a huge homecourt advantage today.
The biggest advantage Oregon will have though is simply the disparity in talent. OSU doesn't have a lot of good players, and the few they do play a ton (three players at over 33 mintues a game). That simply won't work against a Westhead team. Alyssa Martin and Sage Indenti both average double digits for the Beavers, but take over 35 minutes a game to do so. The body simply cannot withstand that many minutes at Oregon's pace. OSU is very good team in the halfcourt defense, but Oregon doesn't really run a lot of halfcourt offense, mostly shooting the ball before the defense has a chance to get set.
KEY TO THE GAME:
Run, run, run-- run all day and do not stop. The Beavers don't have the depth or offensive prowess to keep up with Oregon at the pace they want to run. Run that team silly.
Both the Oregon State teams have fatal flaws that Oregon is in great position to exploit. I would expect the women to win fairly easily. The mens' game is a bit dicier, but if Oregon can take care of the ball, it really hurts what OSU wants to do. If the Ducks can take care of the ball in the 1-3-1, we have a great shot at sweeping little brother today.

Oregon has a 10 point lead. Very good defensive pressure. They’re not giving OSU many good looks, and because they suck at shooting, that’s kept their scoring very low.
On the other end, the Ducks have some very good ball movement going on, which has led to a number of open looks. And hey, they’re hitting their shots.

Soc is a pretty perfect football player degree,
Mostly because the amount of credits it requires is more like a minor than a major. I thought it was interesting and looked into adding it, but couldn’t make it more than two weeks into my first Stats class before deciding it wasn’t worth it. I could tell if the math was way below or above me, which seemed a bad sign.
The time away from studies is a big deal
I didn’t work on my game 40 hrs a week
I did about 3 hours a day until getting injured. Then, it was like getting an extra day of “prime time” afternoon hours. Was able to add a computer science major with the extra time.

Both teams aren’t shooting well, but OSU seems to be playing better right now. They just haven’t turned that into points.
But they just cut it to a 6 points game, 38-32.

OSU turns a 3 on 1 into a missed layin. If they could shoot, they’d be in the lead by a decent margin.

Oregon’s defense breaks down after a long rebound goes to OSU, they get a dunk to cut it to 4.
Then Catron gets called for the offensive foul.

Oregon really needs to penetrate this zone
OSU collapses so hard on the ball that a simple penetration leaves someone open. Ball movement around the perimeter is great but is really easy to defend with the zone.

Ever sense I was ragging on him
He’s been lights out. I gotta give him credit for his play the last couple of games, he’s been nothing but a solid contributor on defense and offense.
I’d still start Williams though

I also noticed that Altman put him in for defense late in the game while we were shooting free throws. Maybe Matt’s been missing his true value as a defensive stopper.
No I wasn't missing anything
He wasn’t very good the first 15 games of the year. He’s definitely stepped up his game lately.

I wasn't really aware until thread that so many UO fans haven't gotten over the loss.
Apparently we are all still acting like brats according to them. I’ve got to step my game up.

Coming on your Rivals blog
And spewing obnoxious insults isn’t weak though. Right? There’s a place where that behavior is considered appropriate, it’s called Building the Dam, maybe you’ve heard of it? I believe you called Tako arrogant over there earlier this week. So go over there. Stop being a douche bag prick. If you must be a prick, at least be funny like TwistNHook, or self deprecating like Brian Floyd, or at least conversational like B.Money. Otherwise just go away. Or STFU.

Please understand his position. His football team didn’t go to a bowl game, their best RB left early for the NFL, his rival was all over the next for about a month in a half because they went to the title game, his rival just opened up a brand new basketball arena, and his team just lost to his rival (who was in last place) at home.
We’re arrogant because we’re happy and confident about our football program and we’re arrogant because we feel good about the direction of the football team.
If that’s arrogant, I’ll be happy with being arrogant for another 20 years.

Insightful Quote from baver Kevin McShane after the game
"This is the Civil War, they’ve got a new coach, and they’re having a season like we had when coach Rob first got here when everybody thought we were the worst team in the league.’’
Everybody thought you were the worst team in the league? Dude, that WAS the worst team in Pac-10 history.
0-18. Never happened before; will never happen again.

that actually happed the year before Robinson got there
the next year, everyone assumed they were the worst team in the league, when they were merely mediocre (we, in fact, we the worst team in the league).
This year, everyone thinks we’re the worst team in the league. In fact, we may not be.
