15-7 OSU at the first media TO. Getting off to quick starts has not been a problem in their recent games, it's holding onto leads they haven't been able to manage.

 

[nwhoopfan]

25-14 thru Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavs have found the 3 ball. 7-11 early in Q2, lead swells to 34-16.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU getting the get well game they've needed for a while. 51-29 approaching halftime. Goforth is 5-5 behind the arc. von Oelhoffen is carving up the defense.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW went on a 7-0 run, but Beavs come up with a steal and long 3 at the buzzer. 54-31 at the half. 11-15 behind the arc. That will win you plenty of games. I wouldn't be surprised if 11 made 3's is a season high, and the game is only halfway done.

Good ball movement and less dribbling makes a difference. Of course it helps if players are hitting open looks. This is the way they should be playing, of course with so many new players it takes a while which they haven't had due to so many postponements.

von Oelhoffen had a really good run in Q2. She can attack off the dribble and make the defense react in a way that Goodman can't. She whipped some great passes to teammates, some of them weren't quite ready for it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavs shooting 73% from the floor a few minutes into Q3.

Poor Washington only Cal is worse.

 

[nwhoopfan]

79-48 thru Q3. Beavs still over 70% FG shooting, that's insane. 14-20 from deep.

 

[Sched234]

Jones has been a bit of a non-factor in spurts this year.

Expectations in Corvallis have probably been well-tempered by now, but this game, even if a bit of a statistical anomaly, shows how good the Beavers can be when they’re firing. They could be really good next year.

 

[nwhoopfan]

98-68 final. OSU needed a game like this. von Oelhoffen is a keeper. 13 pts/6 reb/7 assists. Goforth finally missed a few shots, 23 pts on 8-10 shooting. OSU tied a school record w/ 18 made 3's (27 attempts). I'm pretty sure they hit 18 against the Huskies in Seattle a couple years ago. Cooled off a tiny bit, 65% shooting for the game.

So Mr. "State moniker belongs with Oregon, not Washington" I want to offer my congrats and my condolences both at the same time.

Goodman is a hard player to gage. She everynow and then will have a good game as a distributor, and then she will have a bunch of games where she plays like she is sight impaired.

I was okay with this. Washington is going nowhere this year, or any time in the foreseeable future. Oregon St. still obviously has some potential.

OK, it was a good game for Oregon State and gives me a glimmer of hope, but as Figurehead notes, they were playing UofW. Not much of a measuring stick. If they win at Colorado and Utah this weekend, then I may start changing my thought patterns.

 

[Plebe]

Go Cougs.

The Beavs are 2-5 in conference play and snapped a 5-game losing streak with a blowout win over the PAC-12's 11th-best team yesterday. I'm happy for the OSU program that the losing streak is over, but I'm realistic in acknowledging that more conference losses await the Beavs this season. Beating teams in the bottom half of the conference is a realistic goal for the Beavs during what's left of this COVID-interrupted season.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This year has been strange for everybody of course, but OSU missed a previous game against Washington and also Cal. They very probably would have 2 more conference wins right now if those games had been played. Of course they also missed the LA schools, Stanford and Arizona St., so they certainly would have more losses if not for all the cancellations, but maybe they would've won 1 or 2 of those as well.

For a little perspective, UW had given up 80+ twice this year, but never over 90. Utah scored 84 and Stanford 83 against them. The mighty Ducks scored 73 and 69 in the 2 games. UW's problems are more on the offensive side of the ball than on defense. Allowing 67.5 ppg, .435 FG and .331 3 point FG, and those numbers took a big jump after OSU trounced them. It may have been a poor opponent, but those offensive numbers by the Beavs are way out of the norm for what UW has been allowing, even against good teams.
