Ducks heading to NCAA dance
The Oregon men will open the NCAA tournament as a number eight seed Friday when they go up against Oklahoma State, a number nine seed, in Omaha, Nebraska. The Ducks held off Utah 67-64 Friday night in a semi-final game of the Pac-12 tournament. Arizona had no trouble with Oregon the next night in the final game, blowing out Oregon 80-52. The Ducks are 25-9.
Oregon State players will focus on finals and finishing out the academic school year. Coach Wayne Tinkle said he declined an invite to the CBI tournament following the NCAA and NIT matchups. Oregon State finished 17-14 in sixth place in the conference… they had been picked to finish dead last.
Turning to baseball…
Oregon State came away from Phoenix Municipal Stadium this weekend with one win and two losses against Arizona State. The Beavers edged the Sun Devils 1-nothing Friday, fell 4-3 Saturday and then lost the rubber match of the series yesterday, 7-4.
Oregon came away from their conference opening series against Cal with one win and two losses also… Oregon lost Friday 9-3; Saturday 6-2; then won 4-2 yesterday.
