They've also got a frontcourt problem. Look at the O boards allowed and how many they grabbed. Also scoring other than Jones. They have A LOT of problems.

Yeah they are nowhere near athletic enough in their front court. Being tall is great in high school and against Brigham Young Episcopal

OSU players are struggling, but I think the coaching staff is struggling even more. Rueck finally shortened his bench in 2nd half, and there was noticeable improvement. However, this team is "soft" compared to previous Beaver Teams, and at every position. Our toughest players are the 2 new freshmen, and, we have no Pivecs (always on the floor, never giving any ground). IF OSU is to turn this around, Rueck and coaching staff will need to draw a line in the sand, and play the members of his team who are willing to be fearless. WSU team played fearless, and, just flat out just out-hustled, out-physical'ed, and, just showed they had more will to win. When OSU's opponents get 70 field goal attempts to OSU's 50 FGAs, that is all the evidence you need to show your team that you have to play tougher, play harder, and fight for every loose ball. I'm still hopeful, but this season is now officially on life support, and will require step-function improvements in each game going forward.
