Oregon @ Oregon State (Sunday)

It was a great must win game but it puzzles me why we settle for so many outside shots when they weren't dropping...

"Though he was an all-state player at Sunset High School up in Portland, Sim was never offered a scholarship by the Beavers. Sim says that then-OSU coach Jay John expressed concern about Sim's skill set and athleticism, telling him he didn't think Sim had what it would to play in the Pac-10."

"Go figure."

"I felt really disrespected for not being recruited by them and that's grown inside of me and for me, is part of the rivalry and part of me wanting to beat them. It's a new staff, obviously, and I have a lot of respect for Coach (Craig) Robinson, but that whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth."

"His mother (cheer) and father (football and track and field) both graduated from OSU, where they were heavily involved in athletics."

Payback is heck... Looks like Sim may get the last laugh.

[Boom]

Our perimeter players had a hard time passing it into the post

Part of that is due to the Beavers defense and part of that is college basketball... poor fundamentals.
